December 17, 2024 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Location varies
We are not meeting in December. See you in January! Join us at our newest group. Avid gardeners all, we clear our minds and find inspiration working in the garden; we work on keeping our bodies fit and strong, and in the soil we find the immense satisfaction that gardening can bring. We promote sustainability, planting native species, protecting pollinators, and safe and healthy practices. We produce beauty, peace, conviviality, good things to eat and bouquets galore! We share garden know-how, learning from each other and from garden masters. We visit other people’s gardens and gardens of note near and far. We share cuttings and seeds and, most importantly, we share, nourish and grow friendship. We welcome you to come grow with us!
Group meetings are held on the third Tuesday of the month at the Clubhouse, a member's garden or a public garden, usually from 4-5:30 pm.
