The Oregon Horticultural Society was started in 1858 as an offshoot of the Multnomah Fruit Growers Society, the Salem Fruit Growers Association, and the State Agricultural Society. On July 29, 1909, Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Secretary of State and the organization was formalized. OHS is a non-profit, educational organization with a primary responsibility of collecting, preserving and dissemination information that will benefit the growth of horticulture and horticultural interests in Oregon.

Our Mission
The Oregon Horticultural Society is an organization of growers and horticultural professionals committed to providing educational opportunities about agriculture to Oregonians with the goal of strengthening the viability of Oregon Agriculture.

Organization Activities
The main project of the OHS is the annual meeting where professionals present information to the state's agricultural folk who then take the information back to their own operations. From that meeting a set of Proceedings is produced and disseminated to all interested parties. Starting in 2002 this information is available online.
