Speaker Series

EHS is proud to present our regular speaker series. Throughout the year we host speakers who embody our values of urban beautification, food gardening, and sustainable gardening. Presentations may be in person, on Zoom, or (NEW!) both.

All Speaker Nights feature inspiring presentations by national, provincial, or local speakers. In-person meetings provide opportunities to chat and connect with other gardeners over refreshments, seasonal displays and plant sales, a gardening magazine swap table, door prizes, and more!

Our new hybrid meetings allow members who are too distant or otherwise unable to attend in-person to view the presentation and submit questions from the comfort of their homes. If the speaker permits, recordings of the presentation may be available through our website after the event for members who missed it.

Interested in past speakers? Check our Past Speakers page.

For in-person meetings, doors are at 6:30 p.m.
The speaker will start at 7:00 p.m.
