History of the Organization

Established in 1985, Master Gardeners of Ontario Inc. (MGOI) is an independent non-profit organization, run by volunteers, dedicated to providing accurate and relevant horticultural information to the public. The Master Gardener program in
Ontario was started by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) and was funded by them until 1996 when MGOI was created and incorporated as an independent non-profit organization.

Master Gardeners (MGs) in the Province of Ontario are experienced gardeners who have studied horticulture extensively and continue to upgrade their skills through technical training. To learn more about Master Gardeners visit mgoi.ca

Plant of The Month July 2025:
ANOUK LAVENDER (Lavandula stoechas “Anouk”)

Picture
Click for details
"Anouk" Lavender is a cultivar of Lavandula stoechas, also known as Spanish Lavender or 'Silver Anouk,' or butterfly lavender.
It is a distinctive and elegant variety that stands out for its unique flower structure and aromatic qualities. While it's sometimes referred to as an herb, it's more accurately classified as an herbaceous perennial shrub. It's valued for its distinctive purple flower spikes, almost "butterfly-like"; these spikes feature dark purple flowers topped with violet-blue bracts that fade to pink as they mature. The plant is very hardy.
 
With its’ aromatic foliage, and long blooming season, Anouk Lavender is a popular choice for gardens and containers.
