THE CALGARY HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY GARDENERS’ MARKET—Saturday, April 25, 2026
Presented by greengate Garden Centres.
The Calgary Horticultural Society has been dedicated to helping local gardeners be successful in Calgary’s growing environment since 1908. The Society provides educational opportunities from talks, workshops, and courses to events. The one-day Gardeners’ Market is one of our 2026 signature events.

This event brings gardeners of all experience levels together to discover what’s happening in the local world of gardening and ignites our garden season. Our exhibitors include garden centres, garden service suppliers, garden decor creators, gardening product providers, and specialty plant groups—it’s an event dedicated to gardening right here in Calgary.
