What is a Garden Club?
A garden club is a group of people who come together to enhance their knowledge of gardening, its beauty, and its effects. Every garden club is different, reflecting the special interests of its members. Programs, activities and projects are encouraged to further develop those special interests.

Do I Need to Know How to Garden?
No. You can learn through the educational and workshop programs presented by your club. . . and you can further enhance your learning by attending District meetings and NCAGC General Meetings. NCAGC also offers the opportunity to participate in its schools on landscape and floral design, gardening, and the environment.

When Do Clubs Meet?
Most clubs meet monthly. Some meet in the daytime, some in the evening, and a few meet during lunch. They meet in homes, community centers, schools, and other public places where facilities can be provided. The club determines the meeting time.

Anyone Can Join.
