THANK HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY FOR FLOWERS, VEGETABLE GARDENS

GRAVENHURST — You can thank the Gravenhurst Horticultural Society for some of the great flowers and vegetable gardens you’ll see around town this summer.

Over the winter, the 40 members planted, nurtured and grew more than 1,000 seedlings, which they sold at their annual spring plant and bake sale this month.

More than half of them were grown in their small grow room located behind the Seniors’ Centre.

The Saturday morning sale May 18 raised $2,200 for club activities, including their lovely public garden with all the daffodils on Muskoka Road at Main Street at the entrance to town; the large gardens at the Seniors’ Centre; and for their monthly meetings, summer flower show, and monthly education seminars at the Seniors’ Centre.

Their next meeting is in June.

A winter of growing at home in their grow room paid off May 18 at the Gravenhurst Horticultural Society plant and bake sale May 18.
Gardeners of all ages came out Saturday morning to buy plants for their own gardens at the annual show downtown Gravenhurst.
Giant tomato plants were among the more than 1,000 plants horticulture members grew and sold.
