Mission Statement

The mission of the Whatcom Horticultural Society is to expand community interest in gardening through educational activities.

We sponsor a wide variety of opportunities locally, providing exposure to historical, artistic, technical and cultural aspects of regional and worldwide gardening. We believe that an exploration of the many diverse aspects of gardening will promote increased skills and knowledge resulting in the beautification of public and private gardens in the Pacific Northwest.
