Membership

Meet like-minded gardeners!

About

Are you passionate about gardening and eager to connect with like-minded individuals? Look no further than joining the Selkirk & District Horticultural Society! The SDHS offers a wide variety of educational and fun events throughout the year. Members receive advance notification of events and receive either discounted or free admission to many gardening events.

The SDHS currently has about 90 members. While the founding members were primarily from the City of Selkirk, now only about 20% of members now reside in Selkirk, with the majority coming from further afield: St. Andrews, Lockport, St. Clements, East Selkirk, North Winnipeg, Cooks Creek, Oakbank, Dugald, and the Interlake. 

Non members are welcome to attend up to two meetings without charge, but they must then decide whether they want to join.

Membership Levels:
Individual Member: $20.00/year
Family Membership: $25.00/year (Max 2 household members)
