There’s a Big Gardening Community Out There Waiting for You - FineGardening

Abstract

These were people who had small calm gardens, exuberant crazy gardens, large gardens with many different rooms, and urban oasis gardens. We enjoyed garden tours around the greater Seattle area, seminars, a plant sale, coffee hours, and wine hours, which all gave the participants the opportunity to connect and share their passion. You don't have to go far to improve your gardening skills while also fostering friendships There is a garden club in my local area that meets at my neighbor's house. There are clubs that are purpose driven-like pea patches, community gardens for the homeless, and children's gardens as learning centers. The Northwestern Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society and the American Dahlia Society are a couple examples. Sometimes groups are affiliated with a local public garden, where you can plug in as a volunteer and learn garden skills as well. Depending on your areas of interest you can find groups that offer hands-on experiences through volunteering, garden tours, educational programs, plant sales, social events, and much more.
