Join a Garden Club!
Long gone are the days of white gloves and tea parties – today’s garden club is involved in the community, is interested in providing a learning experience for its members, and offers projects and programs to meet a wide variety of interests. There is no “typical garden club member” – our clubs boast members with many diverse backgrounds, and we love learning from one another and sharing our passion for gardening, flowers, and design. If you’re interested in joining a garden club or if you’d like more information, please contact our Memberhip Chair, Mary Franke, at 859-224-3944 or maryah49@aol.com.
