Peterborough Horticultural Society
The Peterborough Horticultural Society has been an active part of Peterborough, Ontario life since 1861. They meet on the fourth Wednesday of every month except July, August, and December at the Peterborough Lions Community Centre at 347 Burnham Street.
The Master gardeners are a group of dedicated people who enjoy volunteering their time and knowledge by providing gardening advice to the public. They meet formally nine times a year on the second Wednesday of the month during which they try to either bring in speakers or go to horticultural establishments for more ‘hands on’ activities. They exchange ideas, plants and knowledge within the group and are always keen to keep up with the rapidly changing face of horticulture. They also visit gardens and interesting nurseries and occasionally organize horticultural bus trips.
