Member Discounts 2022

Anyone 18 and over can be a member of the Sault Ste. Marie Horticultural Society. Becoming a member will help you grow! And it costs only $15 per year!

We meet once a month, usually the first Monday of the month (unless it’s a stat holiday; then meeting is the following Monday) at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6:30 p.m. for socializing). Our meetings are held in the basement at United Baptist Church at 41 Malabar Dr in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario (map showing meeting location; go in the lower-level door at the back). You are welcome to bring a guest to the meetings—or to attend on your own even if you are not a member.

We often have local experts speak on topics ranging from container gardening to organic pest control to seed saving to beekeeping! And our members are always willing to answer your gardening questions.

We also have field trips and special events such as our annual Christmas Party/Photo Competition, Garden Tour and more. Members are welcome to attend all meetings and events. Come as often as you like, and bring a guest! For the latest details on our events calendar, click on the Events tab at the top of this page.
