Since 1890 — for 135 years — the Miami Horticulture Show has acted as a hub for plant lovers to come together to view the finest a rural Manitoba harvest can offer.

Miami Horticultural Club President Lynn Sprott said the first iteration of the show was held by a local resident referred to as “Mrs. Campbell.”

“[She] had a little table set up on her lawn and the ladies of the community came and brought their house plants and a few cut flowers, and that was the first [one],” she said. “It's amazing.”

Growing a tradition

Today, the horticultural show, which has developed into a place to display (and view) a wide variety of plants and other items to be judged for competition, has expanded by leaps and bounds.
