“Where gardeners meet and grow together”
The Newfoundland Horticultural Society promotes gardening in our communities and aims to increase our members’ knowledge through a wide range of activities.
Anyone with an interest in plants is encouraged to become a member. Whether you garden indoors or out, are experienced or just starting out, you will benefit from meeting other gardeners.
The society also has two sub groups with special interests, the Floral Design Group and the John Cabot Rose Group.
