              The St. James Horticultural Society, the second oldest horticultural society in Manitoba, was organized in November, 1914 by 13 St. James Gardeners. This was the year of the outbreak of the First World War when the call went out that all should supply their own individual needs with Victory Gardens and many plots were put under cultivation during the war years.


              The Society has held a show in every year since its inception, a record that its members are notably proud of. During the bad years of the depression of the 1930's, the Society's funds were so low that paid-up memberships for the year were given in place of prize money at its shows.


              In November 1929, the Society applied to the Manitoba Government for a Certificate of Organization under the Manitoba Horticultural Societies Act, and received Certificate No. 8, dated December 1, 1929.


              Around 1938, the St. James municipal council allowed the Society the use of a tract of land in the north part of the city which was divided into parcels of 30 feet by 60 feet for annual competition by members. This tract has been under cultivation right up to the present time.

              FLOWER ARRANGING GROUP

              Workshop: Japan....Konnichiwi.....a minimalistic Ikebana type arrangement in a low container.

              DEMO:  PAINTING

              A modern mass arrangement using a monochromatic palette.


              This is our “Painting”  arrangement...a modern mass arrangement using a monochromatic palette. The palette was shades of yellow which contrasted nicely with the black container. Black was repeated in the design with ornamental black peppers and the sunflower centers which helps to unify the design. Various kinds of Foliage and flowers are grouped together in this type of arrangement rather than scattered throughout the design. All plant material was grown by the designer except the sunflowers and gladioli.
