St. Williams Nursery & Ecology Centre operates over 400 acres of field production and 10 acres of greenhouse space in Southern Ontario and this makes it the largest source-identified native plant nursery in the province. The guest speaker for our June General Meeting, Stefan Weber, comes from this centre and his presentation on Tuesday, June 5 will focus on native plants and trees. St. Williams is unique in the nursery trade – it is the only major supplier that specializes exclusively in native seed and plants for biodiversity conservation of Ontario native wild-type plant genetics.

The meeting will start at 7:30 p.m. in the Senior Centre Auditorium at the Tillsonburg Community Centre. An annual membership in the society costs $15.00. Everyone welcome. Refreshments follow.

Although there are Horticultural Society activities taking place during the summer months (including the July 7 Beyond the Garden Gate Garden Tour) regular meeting are suspended during July and August and the next general meeting will be held on September 4.
