Garden Wilmot, also known as the Wilmot Horticultural Society, is a community organization in Wilmot Township, Ontario, dedicated to promoting horticulture and environmental education. Its volunteers lead by example through planting, gardening and teaching, while encouraging residents to care for local landscapes and ecosystems.

The society’s Civic Gardens program supports volunteers who maintain more than 52 gardens on public property across the township. Through Let’s Tree Wilmot, it offers volunteer opportunities, education and expertise focused on trees and forest ecosystems, including tree-planting events and resources on selecting, planting and caring for trees. The Junior Gardeners program welcomes young people aged 6 to 18, providing seeds, activities, contests, prizes and awards for those interested in growing flowers and vegetables.

Garden Wilmot also hosts Garden Talks featuring speakers on topics such as garden styles, native and invasive plants, and environmentally mindful gardening. Members and volunteers can take part in events, projects and community learning.
