Presidents Message

Having just completed my first year as President of Uxbridge Horticultural Society, I have been taking some time to reflect on what we as a Society have accomplished over the last year.

The biggest thing that stands out in my mind is the dedication of a large number of members to help the Society become more vibrant. We have had one of the most successful August Plant, Tea and Raffles, which helped to raise significant monies for the Society.

Members of your Executive are active in pulling together a Business Plan for the Society.

We also have another group working on helping District 17 revise our Constitution. A third group of members are working at pulling together a Cookbook for sale in the spring.

We have worked with the Town to institute a maintenance programme for a number of gardens in town. This helps us, as we have trouble finding the number of volunteers necessary to do maintenance, but we have members willing to help with planting and clean up duties.

In the next few years we will be hosting a District 17 Convention, something we have not done since 1998.

One area that we still struggle with is volunteers. With 148 members we should be able to get more people involved in the planting of gardens, kitchen duty and some of the other tasks that contribute to our Society being successful. This is one area that I hope to improve on this year.

Regards,

Rick Causton
