What we’re about
We are a non-profit organization focused on information exchange among plant enthusiasts and educational outreach to the community.
In 1963 a group of both professional plantsmen and amateur gardeners banded together to create a local society where plant and garden lovers could learn from each other, and share that knowledge with others. In promoting the future of horticulture, we award two scholarships annually to students in local college horticultural programs.
The sharing of plant knowledge is an important part of the Western Horticultural Society credo. Our monthly meetings feature speakers from all facets of gardening, and a plant discussion in a “show and tell” format. How better to learn about a plant than from someone who actually grows it? In addition, we have member open garden visits and offer tours to horticulturally inspiring sites including nurseries, farms and non-private gardens.
Membership fee is $35/yr - see westernhort.org for more info and upcoming speakers.
