About

The Calgary Horticultural Society is a charity dedicated to cultivating Calgary's gardening community.  A network of more than 100 community gardens and 5,000 members makes us one of largest and most active gardening organizations.

From our office just off Macleod Trail, our devoted staff works year-round to develop and deliver quality educational programs that help local gardeners meet the challenges of Calgary's unique Zone 3 microclimate.

We offer educational speakers and hands-on workshops, host plant shares, arrange garden tours, develop gardening resources such as the ones on this website and nurture a network of more than 100 community gardens through our Community Gardens Resource Network program.

Each April we bring it all together in a world-class garden show. The compelling mix of high profile speakers, practical hands-on workshops, inspiring competitions and unique exhibitors regularly attracts more than 10,000 gardeners.
