The Horticultural Societies of Parkdale and Toronto were founded in 1987 and 1834 respectively, and merged in 1988. Together with the Parkdale Society we continue a tradition of public beautification in central Toronto. Highlights over the last 175 years include:
- the development of the Horticultural Gardens in 1858 (known today as Allan Gardens);
- the encouragement of gardening in schools; and
- the evolution of the Hort’s community garden projects.
The Society is an affiliate of the Ontario Horticultural Association and is a not-for-profit public service organization recognized by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs.
