Meetings

 

We meet the third Wednesday each month from September through June.  We will have an annual picnic in June.  Our meetings will be held at the Bayside Community Church at 25992 Barber Cut Off Road NE in Kingston across the street from the Health Services Center on West Kingston Road unless otherwise noted on the calendar.  We start our meetings at 9 am for a social time, 9:30 for the featured program and 11 am for the business meeting.

 

 

 

 

Year at a Glance 

 

Goals for our Club

To inspire members to find joy, pleasure and peace in their own gardens.  To walk through any garden with an eye for the beauty in the smallest bud, the greenest leaf.  We hope to inspire through our programs, tours through member's gardens, and friendship with fellow garden club members.
