We are thrilled to announce a new fundraiser for the OHA!
Sit back, relax and sip some delicious tea this winter while browsing through those seed catalogues and dreaming about your gardens.
The OHA has teamed up with Sipology – an amazing tea company located right here in Ontario. Experience a range of vibrant and flavorful loose-leaf tea blends, leaving behind the limitations of conventional tea bags for an exciting new tea journey. The products are Organic Certified with no added sugar unless stated on the ingredient list, no artificial flavours or colours, and no MSG.
Feeling the Fall Vibes!
​
The month has given us lots of great gardening weather! As we reflect on the 2024 gardening season, we'd like to thank you, our supporters and members, for being part of our organization. We welcome the new members who joined at the last meeting and those who have renewed. Each year, we draw one name from those who have been continuous members for five years and award them a free membership. This year's winner is Cheryl A. Congratulations!
