Volunteer members care for public gardens at the Kinsmen Park Trail entrance near the dam along the beautiful Grand River, at the East entrance to the Ron Clark Memorial Walkway on the North side of the Caledonia bridge, at Edinburgh Square Heritage and Cultural Centre,  the Riverview Oasis Parkette,  the Wigton & Renfrew Street Parkette,  at the Seneca Centennial Hall in York, Hagersville Hospital,  Cayuga town sign, waterfront pots at both Cayuga and Caledonia, and the big planter pot Hagersville. 

Partnerships

Haldimand County provides us with partnership funding through a Community Beautification Funding Grant that is used to assist purchasing plant material, shrubs and trees in Haldimand.

Haldimand Horticultural Society (Hhs) has fundraising events throughout the year which helps with Beautification funds.

Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA) is our mother association may also help out with grants if we apply and are accepted.

The HHS created 3 displays of poppy banners this November at the Caledonia, 
Hagersville and Cayuga Cenotaphs. We are grateful to the community (individuals and 
groups such as St. Paul’s Anglican Church Prayer Shawl Group) for donations of 
knitted and crocheted poppies in red, purple and white for these displays. Total 
number of poppies donated since 2022 are: 4115. Two members, Anne Jay & Barbara 
Jean Garvie have donated 700 & 400 respectively. Next November we plan on creating 
a new banner for the cenotaph in Jarvis.
