The Ottawa Horticultural Society, a garden club with over 300 gardeners, was founded in 1854. The mission of the OHS is to cultivate an interest in plants and gardening in order to create a beautiful community. We are affiliated with the Ontario Horticultural Association., District 2 and we are also founding members of the Ottawa Botanical Garden Society.
