Our General Meeting and Flower Show on Monday, June 13, 2016 went according to plan

David Hawke, Stewartship Program Manager at Couchiching Concervancy and Writer, taught us about the poisonous plants to be found in and around Simcoe County. Very interesting indeed.

Our Judge, Aira Kaduc, from Collingwood Horticultural Society and Acting Show Chair Agnes More hard at work judging the Tall Bearded Iris entries.
We had a total of 52 entries brought in by 11 exhibitors
