What Is AVSC.ca?

AVSC.ca is the official website of the African Violet Society of Canada, a community organization devoted to growing and showing African violets. The site is aimed at anyone who wants to learn about these plants, share knowledge with other growers, and connect with people who have the same interest.

What the Organization Does

According to the site, the society centers on learning together and sharing knowledge. It describes itself as a community open to anyone who wishes to join, learn, and share. Its focus is the African violet, described on the site as one of the world's most popular houseplants.

The site notes that African violets are widely available for sale in grocery stores, home improvement stores, and greenhouses. It also explains that today's many flower colors, patterns, and variegated forms come from generations of hybridization, originally from species found in eastern Africa, mainly the Nguru mountains of Tanzania. The African violet belongs to a larger plant family called Gesneriads, which also includes well-known houseplants such as the lipstick plant and the goldfish plant.
