Local Organization Spotlight - Richmond Hill Garden & Horticultural Society

The Richmond Hill Garden & Horticultural Society has been a cornerstone of community beautification and horticultural education in Richmond Hill since 1914. As a nonprofit organization run by passionate volunteers, they focus on fostering a love of gardening and environmental stewardship among residents of all ages.

In 2023, I had the honour of them joining my very first Seed Swap, bringing their expertise and enthusiasm for sharing knowledge and resources.
