Soil Mates Garden Club was established in March, 2000 and we currently have 22 Active, 6 Associate and 2 Honorary members. We meet at 10am on the first Wednesday of each month (except January and July). Our meetings are a combination of educational programs, social gatherings and visits to local/regional gardens of interest. Our Civic Project is the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge in Lexington where we plant and maintain their terrace gardens. We also volunteer for various community projects including installation of two Monarch Waystations. Please contact our Membership Chairman if you are interested in attending a meeting or would like more information on our club.
