Cut flowers from our gardens and houseplants are brought in to show off. Used garden magazines, catalogs, and seeds offered FREE to members, are often available here.
 
Attendance Raffle: Everyone (members and guests) who attends our monthly meetings may add their names to be drawn in a raffle. Prizes are garden related items such as books or the seasonal potted plants we've used as center pieces.
 
Plant Exchange: Thinnings from our gardens are potted and labeled to share with our members at our annual June club meeting held at the home of one of our members. A great way to share plants and gain new ones. Click on annual events for more info.
 
Garden Walk and Sale: 3 club member's gardens are open from 1-4pm on a Sun. in June. 
The leftover plants from our plant exchange are also sold at our annual Garden Walk and Sale. This is our club's major fund raiser that is used for our service projects and holiday party. Click on annual events for more info.
 
Service Project: Our club's current service project is tending the Kennicott garden at The Grove. Members take turns meeting on Sat. 9-11am during the season for exercise, fresh air, friendship and goodwill maintaining the beautiful garden of our local National Historic Landmark.
 
Newsletter: Club members receive a monthly emailed newsletter with information on past and upcoming club programs, news and interesting gardening facts. Past issues are available and are archived on our website.
 
Holiday Party: Our Dec. meeting is our annual pot luck dinner. Members sign up to bring an appetizer, side dish, dessert, refreshment, or paper products. The club pays for the catered main course. Members can choose to participate in a cookie exchange and/or garden related gift grab bag. For more information on this, click on Holiday party.  Click on annual events for more info.
 
New Member's Gift: Currently, our gift for new members is a T-shirt w/ our club logo. We've worn them when we've marched beside our float in the 4th of July parade, at our community booth at The Farmer's Market, on field trips and for service projects such as WTTW's  fundraising. 'Old' members may also receive them when they participate in any of the above activities.
