The Garden Club of Mountain Lakes

Calendar 2009 - 2010

The Garden Club meets on a formal basis from September to June, usually on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 9 am for a business meeting, followed immediately by a program.  Unless otherwise noted, we meet in the lower level community meeting room of the Library on Elm Road.

Programs that are open to the public are listed here and a guest fee of $10 will be collected at the door.  Other activities for members only include workshops, field trips, informal flower arranging, community gardening maintenance and anything else that sparks an interest.  We are a working club and welcome anyone who has a sincere interest in learning more about any aspect of gardening.
