Calgary Horticultural Society Presents Think Spring!

Think Spring! is back on Saturday, February 7, 2026 – our theme this year is Small Space—Big Wow!
We are excited to announce big plans for our growing-season-launching event!
As gardening space shrinks with urban densification or personal downsizing, you can still grow food and have visual impact. Check out these sessions to discover what you can grow in your small space and how you can build in that “Wow!” factor.
