How wonderful for the gardening community that Prince Charles highlighted an organization which is sharing valuable resources on sustainable gardening, vegetable production and healthy eating habits!

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?
