In 1988, the Toronto Horticultural Society (1834) merged with the Parkdale Horticultural Society (1988) to form the Horticultural Societies of Parkdale and Toronto. Together, we are very proud to continue the efforts begun thirty-three years before Canada became a country. Those visionaries looked forward to a beautiful and civilized community: our purpose is the same: to bring soul to the city through the garden.

All manner of gardeners are welcome—from pot to plot! Our members make gardens on rooftops, apartment balconies, indoors, under glass and under lights, outdoors, in community gardens and some only in their minds.
