Our Activities
In addition to the club's monthly meeting and garden related lectures our members participate in a variety of garden and social activities. They include: Fall Fest at a local nursery in October, Holiday potluck in December, Summer Picnic/Potluck usually in June, Members' and Friends Private Garden Tour usually in August, Summer Garden Party usually at the end of August. We also visit garden destinations such as Dunn gardens, Miller gardens, and Kruckeberg Botanic gardens. We also visit the six "Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park" every spring. Group tours may be planned for Heronswood gardens, Bellevue Botanical garden, and Volunteer Park Conservatory. You will also find us at many of our local plant nurseries including Sky Nursery, Swansons Nursery, Flower World, and Sunnyside Nursery. We also make general membership recruitment at such activities as the Commons Green Fair and other Commons activities. Our Annual Plant Sale is held in Mid May. Our members are known for producing and offering unique and unusual plants.

We took the opportunity to explore Animal Acres and the “Otter Garden” which the garden club helps maintain.. Club member Linda Holman, who heads up the Master Gardeners’ and pollinator gardens, gave a tour.
