Summer Hort Show July 13 The Creemore Horticultural Society, at 92 years of age, is still going strong and maintaining the original objectives of its founders: to promote the protection of the environment, to provide the circulation of horticultural information and to make Creemore the prettiest village in Canada. On Saturday, July 13, the Society will once again hold its summer flower and vegetable show at the Station on the Green from 8:30 am to 1 pm. Entries for this event will have been placed and judged the day before. If you would like to participate, a membership in the Society is $12 and will also provide you with a year of speakers and additional events. Special displays this year include miniature gardens and a central invitational display titled “Sky High.” There are also several youth categories, and its hoped that parents will encourage an early interest in gardening by having young people try an entry or several.
