| | In 1998, a small group of individuals committed to lawn care and landscaping without chemical pesticides helped formed the Organic Landscape Alliance (OLA). In the short time since its formation, OLA has experienced excellent growth in membership and has seen increasing public interest in organic techniques, processes and products.
As a non-profit trade association, OLA is committed to the development of organic horticulture. It provides professionals (including landscape workers, growers, arborists, parks staff and turf managers) the opportunity to network with leading experts in the field. OLA offers opportunities to learn about the latest organic products and techniques, and keeps its members abreast of the ever-changing legislative environment.
As an Active member of OLA, you receive the benefit of access to an excellent client referral service as we receive many inquiries from the public looking for credible organic service providers.
OLA is also committed to supporting homeowners and property managers who are interested in learning about organic horticulture and how to integrate it into their property maintenance routine. OLA BOARD MEMBERS - 2009: Rick Brzakala - President Chris MacLukie - Vice-President Frank Reddick - Tressurer The Organic Landscape Alliance gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, an agency of the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Recreation. With $100 million in annual funding from Ontario's charity casino gaming initiative, the Foundation provides grants to eligible charitable and not-for-profit organizations in the arts, culture, sports, recreation, environment and social service sectors. | | |
