Mission Statement The San Diego Horticultural Society promotes the enjoyment, art, knowledge and public awareness of horticulture in the San Diego area, while providing the opportunity for education and research. About the San Diego Horticultural Society The San Diego Horticultural Society (SDHS) is a friendly, happy group that reaches and serves the average gardener as well as the professional, yet still gives correct and dependable information. Since our founding in 1994, the SDHS has grown to over 1200 members, including passionate backyard gardeners, garden designers, nursery owners, garden writers, landscape architects, and other horticultural professionals. Our mission is to promote the enjoyment, art, knowledge and public awareness of horticulture in the San Diego area, while providing the opportunity for education and research. Our motto, Let’s Talk Plants!, perfectly sums up what most members like best about the SDHS – it provides a forum for plant enthusiasts to share their knowledge. We invite you to attend our friendly monthly meetings which are open to everyone, and include professional speakers, plant sales, plant descriptions by experts and much more. They attract over 350 people, from the beginning gardener to the experienced orchid hybridizer, and we warmly invite you to attend. Membership benefits include our monthly 26-page newsletter of locally-relevant gardening information. We have an extensive lending library of books and videos, including videos of our speakers. We organize garden tours, provide three annual $1000 college scholarships, support public gardens, and annually host evenings with world-famous horticulturists like Christopher Lloyd, Penelope Hobhouse, Rosalind Creasy and Dan Hinkley. Meetings are on the second Monday of every month, except June, from 6:00pm - 9:00pm in the Surfside Race Place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. All are welcome. We encourage you to join the organization to receive the monthly newsletter and numerous other benefits. Member benefits - Mingle with rose enthusiasts, nursery owners, palm fanatics and plant breeders. We're a diverse and neighborly group!
and a chance to meet the friendliest bunch of garden nuts in the San Diego area.
