District 9 Annual Report Archives
|
District 9 encompasses the Niagara peninsula from Grimsby to Niagara Falls. As well, it includes the Dunnville Horticultural Society located in Haldimand County. There are thirteen societies in the District. In District 9, we garden in a variety of conditions ranging in Zones from 5 to 6. Some areas are quite sheltered and many exotic plants are grown here by adventurous gardeners. We have two meetings per year, one being our AGM in the spring, usually the last Saturday of April and the other the Fall Forum, usually held on the last Saturday in September. Both meetings have speakers and flower/and or Photo competition shows. Information and schedules are available under "Spring AGM and Fall Forum".
Since we have all
been subjected to the constraints of COVID over the
last couple of years, I would like to update the D9
web site page starting first with the highlighting of
particular activities now planned, or being planned,
in celebration of 2022
The Year of the Garden.
I don’t want to take up a lot of your
time, but would ask you to think about and send me a
few words that highlight a (1 or 2) planned
event that you are excited about and that will engage
your members to:
“LIVE THE
GARDEN LIFE,” and, or OHA’s GROW
RED 2022!
For example, In Thorold, we are
organizing a 2022 Garden
Contest. The launch date will coincide
with June 18th’s
National Garden Day across Canada.
Winners will be announced at a TBA event in September,
hopefully at an ‘in-person’ meeting this fall.
Some plans could include a membership
drive, garden tour, plant sale, special zoom
presentation, garden tea party, a partnership with
another group, municipality, business or school, or
any other special event, either using ZOOM, in-person
or combination of both, that will help to re-engage
our members in our love of gardening.
<It is time to celebrate and cautiously
move on, remaining respectful of COVID as it hopefully
becomes an endemic disease as common as a cold or the
flu.
Let’s advertise that we are here and
like the spring are ready for re-birth and new
beginnings!
