For Those Who Love Gardening
Why Not Join Us!
We are an community based volunteer organization that promotes and encourages an interest and love of gardening amongst its members and the general public. We invite all to come out and join us. Meet people that have the same interest in gardening and learn new skills and share your experience with others. We have flower shows at some of our meetings that you can participate in or view. At our meetings we bring in speakers to share their expertise on subjects that vary from landscaping, tools, herbs, organic gardening, mulches, trees, shrubs, trends and many other subjects.
