About the Chico Horticultural Society
Our primary interest is to educate the public and our members on all topics of flora and horticulture, including flower design and growing. Founded in 1921, the Chico Horticultural Society is one of the oldest horticulture societies in California. It is also a charter member of California Garden Clubs, Inc., a statewide horticulture society chartered in 1931. We are a non-profit organization, interested in sharing our love of horticulture, nature, and gardening.
In our monthly meetings we socialize, share knowledge with each other and we have guest speakers on anything and everything plant related. We also bring in plant material to identify, explain, and to share (seeds, cuttings, and divisions).
The club also gives back to our community with school gardening grants to local schools, and we maintain the beautiful landscaping around the Chico History Museum in downtown Chico.
We host an annual spring plant sale as a fund raiser each April at the local Home and Garden Show at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds, and we host a Holiday Greens Workshop each December. These events are fun for members and the public and are terrific fund raisers for our charitable projects.
Let’s work together
Our monthly meetings are free and open to the public, but we'd LOVE you to join us as a member! Members get to attend our numerous yearly field trips, plus get early access to our annual spring plant sale, plus any club lunches and meetings.
Members also help fund the club (a non profit), and are invited to participate in our signature events like our Holiday Greens workshop and our annual spring plant sale.
Membership is $25.00 per person per year, plus an additional $10.00 for any additional household member.
Membership dues are due by the end of September and can be dropped off at an in person meeting, or checks can be mailed to our PO Box.
Please make checks to Chico Horticultural Society and mail to PO Box 1873, Chico, CA 95927
