About Us
Our History
The Chilliwack Horticultural Society was formed in 1946 with the "purpose of collecting and diffusing all information on all topics relating to the culture and care of plants, fruits, flowers and vegetables and by all possible means to stimulate the knowledge and love of horticulture." The club has played an active role in the community ever since. It was renamed the Chilliwack Garden Club in 1997.
