We have a new volunteer role! See the details below.
There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with the Society and help grow our gardening community. Contact the Society's Volunteer Coordinator, Norm Cook, at 403.287.3469 ext. 1 or email volunteer@calhort.org if you would like to volunteer for a Society event, talk, class or course. All Society classes have volunteer monitors who help set up, introduce the instructor and assist class participants.
Open Gardens Coordinators (North)
The Society is seeking volunteers to help coordinate Open Gardens in the northern quadrants of Calgary. Open Gardens is one of the Society’s most popular member events. The coordinators recruit gardeners willing to be hosts and share their gardens with the Society members on a summer Sunday afternoon. For a full role description, visit this link: Open Gardens coordinator.
NEW! Open Gardens Garden Scout
In an effort to support our Open Garden Coordinators and find new gardens to share with our members, we've added the role of Garden Scout. Are there great gardens in your community? Do you pass by interesting gardens in your travels about the city? Do you like initiating gardening conversations? Then sign up to be a Garden Scout. The role of Garden Scout is to find gardens and initiate a conversation about the garden and/or provide a card that invites gardeners to consider being an Open Gardens host. Contact Norm Cook at 403.287.3469 ext. 1 or email volunteer@calhort.org for more information.

Your Support Matters
The Calgary Horticultural Society has moved its online charitable donation portal to ATB Cares. This change means that your donation gives even more to the Society. ATB covers the transaction and credit card fees on donations made using ATB Cares. They also have a matching program that can add 15% to each dollar donated. Another benefit is you will not need to wait for a tax receipt. When donations are made through this portal, automatic tax receipts are issued to donors through the Canadian Online Giving Foundation. Your support matters. Thank you for supporting the Calgary Horticultural Society. Donate today.
If you prefer, you are still welcome to drop by the office (208 50 Avenue SW) to make a donation or call us at 403.287.3469 and we will be happy to assist you.
