The Tillsonburg Horticultural Society opens up its fall season on Tuesday, September 6 starting at 7:30 p.m. at the Senior Centre Auditorium at the Tillsonburg Community Centre.

Guest speaker is Paul Zammit. Paul is the Nancy Eaton Director of Horticulture at the Toronto Botanical Garden. A graduate of the University of Guelph, Paul was formerly employed at Plant World, and is a regular speaker at garden clubs and horticultural trade shows across Canada and in the United States. He has appeared both on television and in print.

Pollinators is the topic that Paul has chosen to present for us. Several of our members attended this presentation at the Stratford Garden Festival earlier this year and they were so enthusiastic about it that they recommended we ask Paul to present this for our group here in Tillsonburg.

Also on September 6 it is our annual Flower Competition. All entries must be grown by the exhibitor and all exhibitors must be members of our society. Information about the four categories appears here on our website both within the EVENTS menu and as a post in the NEWS category. Please be sure to come a bit early with your entries so the our Competitions Coordinator Karen Pritoula has time to register and display all of the entries.
