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. .
We currently have over 240 active members!
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.
