Events Calendar 2026<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

We welcome both members and non-members to attend our meetings and other events listed below. All events involve learning about some aspect of gardening, floral design, nature, or environmental issues, and most importantly: socializing and having fun!<\/p>\n

Here are a few important pieces of information for recurring events:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tMembers\u2019 Monthly Meetings:<\/strong> Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month from September to June in the Auditorium in Central Arena, 519 Drury Lane, Burlington. Please see map below. January\u2019s meeting is the exception since it is online. Members will automatically receive the link by email.\n\nFrom 6:30-7:00 pm is our social time: our members and guests have time to have a coffee\/tea and a baked treat as well as buy tickets for our in-house raffle draw (fundraiser). We also have an information table with free handouts.\n\nFrom 7:00 pm onwards our formal meeting begins with announcements by the President and followed by our guest speaker. Afterwards there is a \u201cquestion and answer\u201d period. The meeting concludes by 9 pm but not before picking the winning tickets for our draw prizes!\n\nGuests are welcome to attend one meeting before membership is required.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Executive Meetings:<\/strong> These virtual meetings deal with the administration of the Society. Since the Society is run only by volunteers (no paid staff), it is important that all members become involved in helping to run the Society. All members are welcome to attend these meetings held on the third Wednesday of the month from September to June. Please email burlhortsoc@gmail.com for the link.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Special Events<\/strong> involve a variety of activities including garden tours and other educational activities.<\/p>
