Dunnville Horticultural Society
Founded in 1929, DHS is a welcoming group of people of all ages and gardening stages.
LEARN AND SOCIALIZE
Grow with us!
The Dunnville Horticultural Society was organized in 1929 through the efforts of several interested citizens. The first public planting was carried out at the paths that diagonally cross Central Park.
Today with the help of dedicated members and volunteers we plant and maintain the town flowerbeds in Dunnville. Become a member to learn about gardening, relax for an evening, make some new friends, hear some excellent speakers, socialize and enjoy some delicious refreshments.
