OHA Report on the Ottawa Horticultural Society in 1967

Ottawa Horticultural Society

The Ottawa Society gives leadership to all societies in District 2. The Centennial Tulip Show at City Hall featured centennial decorations, flags and a wide array of costumes. The African Violet and Houseplant Show and Tea at the Church Hall in April was an excellent event. Both of these events should be a great inspiration to anyone to grow plants and flowers. Considerable public planting was done throughout the city. The society contributed a further sum of $500.00 to the City Parks and Recreation Department to purchase plants of Canadian origin for planting in the Centennial Garden. They also planted for those persons who could not plant themselves. Three thousand copies of their annual yearbook were distributed to every new homeowner which encouraged people to join the society as well as educate them in gardening. Regular educational meetings are the key to Ottawa's success.
