The Benefits of Belonging to a Garden Club

The rewards of joining a local club within the National Garden Clubs umbrella go far beyond the pleasures of growing things.  Becoming a member almost anywhere in the U.S. or affiliated international locations is simple and inexpensive. Yet membership opens the door for you to explore a wide range of common interests with people around the world and across the generations.

• Grow your knowledge via top-notch educational programs and schools.
• Garden for a purpose with community service projects, including disaster relief efforts and skill-building activities in eco-scaping, community beautification, etc.
• Participate in the State Garden Clubs network for learning, service and community-building.
• Promote environmental causes on a local, regional and national basis.
• Grow your own edibles or launch a community edible garden, for tastier, healthier, less expensive local fare.
• Learn to make the most of resources, including your available garden space.
• Enhance your garden’s sustainability and reduce maintenance by planting “native” rain gardens and saving water.
• Nurture your inner artist with floral design study and flower shows.
