Kanata-March Horticultural Society
In existence since 1970, the Kanata-March Horticultural Society aspires to serve the Kanata-area community through horticultural education, local public garden maintenance, and special events.
We hold monthly meetings where guest speakers including local gardening experts share their knowledge. Winter meetings are held via Zoom, March – June and September-December meetings are held in-person at the Old March Town Hall.
We are one of 19 societies within the Ontario Horticultural Association’s District 2, and through this affiliation are grateful to receive an annual grant from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA).

Brief History
The Kanata-March Horticultural Society was incorporated through the Ontario Horticultural Association in March 1970. Now 52 years old, this Society is still providing gardening advice and informative presentations, social activities and community beautification. Since 1978, Kanata-March member volunteers has undertaken the creation and maintenance of the Molly Wilson Memorial Garden at the site of the Old Town Hall, a historical building at 821 March Road, Kanata, where our meetings are held. Working with the City of Ottawa, the Society has an Adopt-A-Park agreement to help keep the gardens maintained and grounds cleaned up.
