Manotick Horticultural Society

History

The Manotick Horticultural Society was established in 1930 and is one of 19 societies that make up District 2 of the Ontario Horticultural Society.

About Us

We are a membership of over one hundred and ninety amateur gardeners. We share a passion for gardening, preservation of the environment, beautifying our community, and educating others in all areas of horticulture. Our programs and activities instill a great fellowship between members, who all share the same passion.

Our Society Icon

Our symbol is the Stella d’Oro Daylily – gold self, petals curl back slightly, classic miniature long-blooming daylily. Blooms June – September. Grown in full sun or partial shade in humus rich soil.

Organization

Manotick Horticultural Society is constituted as a “not for profit” organization and comes under the auspice of the Ontario Horticultural Association (created by the Province of Ontario in 1906). We are not a registered charity.
