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 schools and courses as well as other timely educational programs. 
• Garden for a purpose with community service projects, disaster relief efforts, and skill-building activities in eco-scaping(Habitat project?), beautification, etc.
• 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, reducing maintenance, planting "native" and saving water.
• Nurture your inner artist with floral design study and flower shows.
• Learn from those with experience, and pass along your own passion and know-how to new generations of gardeners.
• And have fun, whatever you choose to get involved in.

How to Start a Garden Club or Partner with Us

National Garden Clubs welcomes start-up clubs tailored specifically to your groups' needs and interests, whether they be online, weekend or evening meeting times, a focus on organic and edible gardening, or gardening for good causes, such as horticultural therapy projects, disaster relief, or community gardens.

We also invite partnerships with existing groups or special interest clubs that fall within the overall mission of National Garden Clubs.  By joining together in common causes and pursuits, we can achieve so much more on many levels-personal, community and national.

NGC and its state-level organizations can help you get started and provide access to the wealth of resources and networking opportunities that our global reach offers.

The first step is to contact us with your ideas and questions.  We look forward to hearing from you and working together.
