2025 was a year of meaningful progress for the Ottawa Horticultural Society, and this Yearbook aims not only to capture what has taken place, but also to offer a glimpse of what lies ahead. OHS Board members and volunteers alike should feel proud of the remarkable amount of work, creativity, and commitment that sustain this formidable organization.
Key highlights of the year included the refresh of our membership system and website, an important endeavour that has already improved accessibility and the overall member experience. Our Community Impact, Outreach and Volunteer Work 2025 initiative was also a tremendous success, with outstanding community support and volunteer engagement throughout the Ottawa area . Alongside these achievements, our ongoing activities, from plant sales and the annual auction to the speaker series and photography competition continue to thrive and reflect the depth of dedication within the OHS community.
The member link to the OHS 2026 Yearbook will be included in the next Grapevine e‑newsletter (week of May 11, 2026). Otherwise, members are welcome to login and select "the OHS 2026 Yearbook" from the drop down menu.
Stay tuned and happy reading!
