The Garden Club is for everyone who loves to get their hands in the soil — and for those who simply love to admire the results. It’s a friendly gathering of green thumbs and hopeful beginners alike, all sharing a fondness for things that grow.

Meetings are a pleasant mix of practical know-how and good company. Members trade tips on everything from coaxing along the tomatoes to keeping the deer out of the hostas, and there’s always someone with a clipping or a bit of advice to pass along.

Through the seasons the club takes on all sorts of projects and outings. Whether you garden on a grand scale or just fuss over a few pots on the porch, you’ll find kindred spirits here.

New members are always welcome, and no expertise is required. Bring along your curiosity and perhaps a question or two, and you’ll feel right at home.
