The Woodbridge Horticultural Society was established in 1923. It boasted a membership of 107 by the end of the year, and by 1930 numbered 475. The Society has hosted numerous flower shows which are the main social event of each season. Members have exhibited at several garden shows, the O'Keeffe Centre, the Canadian National Exhibition and the Gladioli Show, and have undertaken many projects such as planting trees, flowers, and shrubs in public areas. Spanning the years 1934-2000, the fonds consists of annual year books and show books providing lists of officers and members of the board of directors, programmes hosted by the Society for the year, show rules, essays on a variety of subjects related to horticulture by members and non-members, general membership lists and lists of junior members, and a series of scrapbooks and albums containing photographs and news clippings from past shows.
