enjoyed the 2009 holiday feast . . . |
Our
Events
always include an annual Christmas dinner. This last December
our members enjoyed presentations by members, a chance at
winning various door prizes and a great opportunity to
socialize.
Our members always amaze each other with the
professional-looking centrepieces designed and donated by our
volunteers.

Oshawa Garden
Club's Amazing Annual Plant Sale
Saturday and
Sunday, May 9-10, 2009 was a great success despite the wet weather.
This sale is one of the club's major annual fundraising events.
Bravo and "thank you" to the many dedicated volunteers who
worked tirelessly all year to make this happen. From growing the
plants to accepting and potting-up donated plants to assisting
buyers, a great team effort is evident every year!
