OHA In Action

Volunteers are the Heart of OHA

 
Do you enjoy nothing better than getting a little dirt on your hands? Enjoying vegetables you’ve grown yourself? Walking through the garden in the early morning to see what’s blooming today? Lending a hand to restore an urban waterway?
If the answer is "yes," you should consider being a volunteer with the Ontario Horticultural Association. Through our local Societies, OHA is active across Ontario - improving urban landscapes, giving senior’s residences a hand with gardening, planting roadsides with wild flowers, planting trees in river valleys... the list of OHA activities is unlimited.
Volunteers are the backbone of everything we do. Whether you can help organize a flower show, do the bookkeeping, work on an environmental or community beautification project… or just share your favorite muffins, your assistance is most welcome.
Contact the nearest District or Society to find out how you can be an OHA volunteer.

BEAN is a working group of Ontario's Biodiversity Council, and the Education Alliance for a Sustainable Ontario.
