Our History -- Under the presidency of Mrs. W.C. Moxley, the Gloucester Horticultural Society began on April 8, 1925.  Through the years, the Society has hosted flower and vegetable shows, sponsored school ground improvement competitions, cared for small parks near the Gloucester Township Hall and the Billings Bridge Area.

Today, the Society continues to meet the aims and objectives of the OHA by organizing lectures, workshops, garden tours, and by holding flower shows.   Our aim is to provide a congenial atmosphere in which to learn, share and practice horticulture.

Our floral emblem is the Bearded Blue Iris.  The iris is named after the Greek goddess of the rainbow.  It is easy to grow and comes in all colours of the rainbow.

The Gloucester Horticultural Society invites people with a common interest in gardening to share their knowledge and enjoy the practice of horticulture in a friendly environment.
