About the Club... When We Meet...
FROM OUR PRESIDENT
What an honor it is to follow in the footsteps of so many dedicated gardening volunteers! You inspire and encourage me to proudly and energetically help lead this 96th year of the PGC!
Each new year brings countless opportunities for learning, getting involved, helping the community--and socializing! Our monthly programs offer interesting and exciting educational sessions offered at our monthly meetings (including some great field trips!). And, in the spring and fall, bridge plantings provide time for us to gather and converse as we help beautify our wonderful city while the River Corridor Project offers members a chance to conserve our river's edge.
In the summer months, Twilight Garden Walks showcase our members' gardens and provide time for getting inspired, learning, and chatting with friends, both old and new.
Our club has always been--and will continue to be--a place to HAVE FUN, LAUGH, LEARN, SERVE, MAKE FRIENDS, and ENJOY the beautiful world of gardens and gardening.

The club holds monthly meetings on the 4th Monday of the month from March through October unless otherwise noted on our Calendar. At monthly meetings we enjoy guest speakers, luncheons, or jaunts to points of interest. The program is held first, followed by the business meeting. Our monthly meetings offer great opportunities to socialize and share and learn with fellow garden club members. The meetings are open to the public unless otherwise noted on our Calendar. We welcome every level of gardener and every contribution of time and energy.
