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!

Hi all fellow gardeners:
The board is working on some events keeping in mind "social distancing", looking for creative ways to continue meeting in the fall.
1.HERITAGE GARDEN
We continue to maintain the heritage garden at the Westerson Cabin in the Cochrane Ranche. Thank you to everyone who helped with the spring clean up and has stepped to help on a 2 week rotating basis.
There are a few openings and if you are able to help contact please send an note to our email cochranedistricthortsociety@yahoo.ca.
The dates are: a second person on July 17-30;
two people for August 14-27 and 2 people for August 28-Sept. 10th.
2. LEMONADE IN THE GARDEN
The first visit took place last Thursday with guidelines and I hope all enjoyed Bob's amazing yard.
There a couple more line up and potentially a few more coming as well: See the Lemonade tab for details and watch your emails.
3. FIELD TRIPS:
Only trips meeting the social distancing requirements will be planned.
There will be a tour of the Scenic Acres Botanical Gardens planned for late July, early August. Watch for more details
4. PERENNIAL PLANT EXCHANGE & AGM
We are trying to organize a plant exchange and working on a way to make that happen as well as resuming meetings, either in person or electronically for the fall.
________________
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!
