Welcome to Gardeners of Burlington

Established in 1919, the Gardeners of Burlington (founded as the Burlington Horticultural Society) is a volunteer, non-profit, organization whose mission is to beautify the Burlington community, and inspire both new and seasoned gardeners alike, to learn and grow together.

We are one of more than 270 societies which form the Ontario Horticultural Association (aka GardenOntario).

Land Acknowledgement

Burlington as we know it today is rich in history and modern traditions of many First Nations and the Métis. From the Anishinaabeg (Ah-nish-nah-beg) to the Haudenosaunee (Ho-den-oh-sho-nee), and the Métis – our lands spanning from Lake Ontario to the Niagara Escarpment are steeped in Indigenous history. The territory is mutually covered by the Dish with One Spoon Wampum Belt Covenant, an agreement between the Iroquois Confederacy, the Ojibway and other allied Nations to peaceably share and care for the resources around the Great Lakes.

We would like to acknowledge that the land on which we gather is part of the Treaty Lands and Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit.
