The Tillsonburg Horticultural Society’s regular schedule of monthly meetings returns for the fall on Tuesday, September 4. Guest speaker for this meeting will be Hilde Makkink from Makkink Sunflower Farm just outside Tillsonburg. Hilde will be showing off her spectacular sunflowers and other fall plants, while offering up creative ideas for fall decorating.

Also on September 4 it’s the annual Grow and Show Flower Competition with members bringing in their plants/flowers in the following categories: Cosmos -three stems, same colour; French Hydrangeas – three stems, same colour; and Succulents – three different varieties on a four inch pot. This competition is open to Tillsonburg Horticultural Society members only and each person can bring just one entry per category. Of course all entries must be grown by the member as well.

The September 4 meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Centre Auditorium at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. All welcome. Refreshments to follow. For additional information about the society visit our website at tillsonburghorticultural .ca.
