The Club

The Oshawa Garden Club (OGC) was formed in 1910 as the Oshawa Horticultural Society by a group of people interested in horticulture. The club changed its name in 1974 to the Oshawa Garden Club (OGC).

The OGC operates as a not for profit organization. OGC is part of District 17 (D17) under the umbrella of the Ontario Horticultural Association (OHA) Garden Ontario. .

The Gardener’s Pledge

I come with respect for this land that I am on today, and for the people who have and do reside here by acknowledging the authentic history of Turtle Island.

I pledge as a Garden Club member to faithfully protect from waste and destruction the natural resources of our country, its flora, fauna, soil, water, air, and to respect human life and all living things sacred to the preservation of our environment.

Dorte Windmuller will speak on  Winter Sowing. Dorte is passionate about sharing manageable actions to counteract biodiversity loss and climate change. It is surprisingly easy to bring bees, birds, and butterflies back into our gardens by planting native plants. To make native plant gardening more accessible, she founded the Cliffcrest Butterflyway.com with neighbours in 2019 and started her native plant and garden design business, PollinatorGarden.ca. She grows and sells native plants in the Bluffs and shares her love for nature on her websites, through educational events, and as a photographer. Dorte has created many native plant gardens with clients, schools and the community, e.g. at Variety Village. She organizes biannual Native Tree Giveaways, distributing 1600 trees and shrubs each year. It brings Dorte great joy to see people rediscover their connection to nature as they witness the magic of life unfold, and there is no better way to fully connect to plants than to grow them from seed.
