ABOUT US

Founded in 1967, the Oro‑Medonte Horticultural Society brings together gardeners of all ages and experience levels who share a love of plants, the environment, and the beauty of our township.

Our members care for several public gardens across Oro‑Medonte, host inspiring speakers and workshops, and create opportunities for learning, connection, and hands‑on gardening. Whether you’re a seasoned grower or just planting your first seed, you’ll find a friendly, supportive community here.
We welcome anyone 16 and older who wants to learn, volunteer, and help make Oro‑Medonte bloom.
