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". In 2022 our AGM was held in the Fall at the Seniors' Centre in Thorold and was hosted by District 9. Our morning speaker was Paul Gellaty and in the afternoon there was a floral Demonstration by Nicky Szechua from the Thorold Garden Club. . This proved to be a fun day with lots of camaraderie and just plain fun! In the year that District 9 hosted Convention 2012, we sold over 1500 of the 1812 Rose. It is a red rose and very disease resistant. Palatine Roses in Niagara on the Lake has been the grower for this rose. At this time, sales of the 1812 Rose have been completed. If you have any further questions about the rose, please contact Palatine Roses. There are a few of the roses left for sale. Palatine Roses can be contacted at this website. Palatine Roses. Many thanks to all who supported District 9 in the sale of the rose and especially to the rose committee, who devoted countless hours to the success of this fundraiser.
