Educational Programs
​We meet the first Friday of the month, September through May unless otherwise noted in the calendar. Past educational programs have included general gardening, floral design, fire mitigation, maintaining healthy house plants and table decorating for the holidays. We invite speakers and authors, some of whom are nationally acclaimed. Field trips and overnight adventures to private and public gardens in the United States and abroad are offered periodically throughout the year.
