About Us
The Collins Bay and District Horticultural Society was incepted in 1959 as part of District 3 - Frontenac, Hastings, Leeds, Lennox & Addington, Prince Edward of the Ontario Horticultural Association. Just last year we celebrated our 60th year as a gardening club although officially we have only been a registered society for 55 years.
There are many dedicated people who have been members for a long time and we always love seeing new members.
What We Do
Our Society meets once a month where we bring in speakers to talk about all things horticulture and where we share in each other's gardening stories. We also have two flower and plant shows each year (June & September) plus we hold a plant sale for the public in May, which generates the majority of our yearly fundraising.
Society members also volunteer their time maintaining local gardens at the following locations:
The Loyalist Parkway Gates by Fairfield Park in Amherstview and Front Road park on Bayridge Drive.
