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.
In 1900 the Elmira & District Horticulture Society was founded and continues to be active in this community because of you. In 2009, your Society consisted of 204 members, as well as 10 junior gardeners which once again meets our annual membership goal of 200 members.
Renewing your membership, giving memberships to your gardener friends, family members, or neighbours supports your Society and allows us to continue to make the visible contributions to our community that are enjoyed by residents and visitors alike.
Our commiunty partners provide discounts, which are listed on the back of your membership card. PLEASE continue to support our local merchants.
