Who We Are
The Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA) is a volunteer charitable organization that encourages interest in gardening and related environmental issues with horticultural societies and like-minded organizations by providing leadership and education.
We inspire Ontarians to promote and share gardening.
Our goals will:
- Provide recognition, awards, and grants throughout Ontario.
- Develop and support programs for all ages encouraging gardening, community beautification, environmental enhancement, and conservation.
- Provide resources for horticultural societies.
- Encourage the development of new horticultural societies.
