January 10, 7:30 pm – 9 pm
As a returning guest to our Manotick Horticultural Society educational program, Michel opens the Canadian Garden Council proclaimed Year of the Garden 2022 and takes us on a tour of Canadian gardens and garden experiences from coast to coast. Together with Michel, we’ll explore our country’s beautiful gardens and celebrate the centennial of Canada’s ornamental horticulture sector. Our AGM is our yearly accounting to our members where we review our 2021 financial performance, approve our 2022 budget, amend our bylaws, and elect our new Board of Directors.
