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!

NOTICE: Response to COVID-19
In an effort to keep everyone safe, the clubhouse has been closed to all and every meeting, and therefore there will be no Horticultural meetings until further notice. We hope to find a future date for Adam's Presentation.

As the new decade begins, the C&DHS presents the following engaging speakers:

Postponed?? - Joan Popowich, master gardener
the topic will be "Microclimates", most appropriate given our volatile chinook climate.
