Ottawa Horticultural Society

This is the largest Society in District No.2, having 620 members. It is blessed with a number of qualified speakers and judges and is ever ready to lend a helping hand to other Societies and other Districts. Special projects this year included:

  1. A planting project at the Home for the Blind, and also at the Good Companions' Club for Senior Citizens.
  2. A garden competition; a 'telephone service for answering garden questions is also conducted.
  3. The decorating of the beautiful spiral staircase in Ottawa's City Hall during "Tulip Festival Time";

President H. A. Coulman and Mr. John Robinson took very active parts in the staging of Ottawa's "Festival of Flowers" in connection with the "Tulip Festival". Members arranged a small garden landscape in Horticultural Hall at Central Canada Exhibition. This display was staffed by Officers and Members throughout the Exhibition. Mr. John Robinson was presented with a Service Diploma in recognition of his fine work over the years. Our District owes a great debt to the Ottawa Society for all the help they give so freely.
