Members of the Kemptville Horticultural Society (KHS) have been gardening together for a long time. We are a “down-to-earth” group that is small and friendly and ever expanding. We are a charitable Society, involved in fundraising to benefit the community, and we also take care of planting and maintenance at Rotary Park (you may well have seen our volunteers digging and planting on many occasions).
We like to share our garden knowledge at our monthly meetings and draw on experienced speakers from the surrounding area for their extensive expertise on many subjects. We meet nine times a year, on the third Wednesday of each month, at 7 pm at the Kemptville Pentecostal Church at 1964 County Rd.43. We have two amazing flower shows in May and September, when members demonstrate their flower arranging skills, and we always enjoy coffee and delicious snacks at the end of each meeting.
Dates to look out for: Saturday, May 11, Plant Sale at Kemptville College – details to follow. Saturday June 22 – Garden Tour of eight amazing gardens in the local area.
