The OHS is a member society of the Ontario Horticultural Association, and encourages interest in gardening and related environmental issues by providing education and fellowship.

The Society aims to further the knowledge of horticulture by stimulating an interest in gardening in our community, and has been encouraging the beautification of both public and private properties since 1957. 

Partnering with Oakville’s conservation groups, the Society also seeks to encourage and protect plant diversity in our community’s forests and wetland areas.
