The Cochrane & District Horticultural Society was founded in April 2005 by local gardeners unified by their love of gardening. We serve Cochrane and surrounding district with varied activities focused on education and sharing gardening expertise & experience in Hardiness Zone 2a and 2b with Chinook conditions!
We have monthly meetings from Sept through May(excepting Nov/Dec when we have our annual Xmas workshop) with guest speakers, preserves and photo competitions and lively round table discussions. We also enjoy touring member gardens, field trips, workshops, plant trials & plant exchanges.
We are as varied as the plants in our gardens but we all have one thing in common. WE LOVE GARDENING!
