Activities
The OHA, directly or through local horticultural societies, promotes education about horticulture and greater community involvement in local beautification. It achieves this by various means:
- environmental preservation and restoration;
- a quarterly society newsletter;
- support of Ontario Fall Fairs, and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair;
- supporting and hosting horticultural shows and educational exhibits;
- supporting a Master Gardener program; and
- holding an annual convention.
It also encourages and promotes horticultural youth groups.

In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes.

—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
