Gardens Grow Friendships
You just need ONE of these reasons...
You have a green thumb.
You DON'T have a green thumb.
You love to dig in the dirt.
You don't know anyone in garden club but you want to meet others who share your interests.
You care about your community and the environment.
How to Join the Hill & Valley Garden Club
The rewards of belonging to a local garden club within the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs umbrella go far beyond the pleasures of growing flowers, vegetables, shrubs and trees. Joining is simple and inexpensive (dues are $20 per year), yet membership opens the door for you to explore a wide range of common interests with people in our community, around the globe and across generations.
The Hill & Valley Garden Club meets monthly to offer educational programs presented by local experts; floral design; conservation; the study of birds, butterflies and beneficial insects; and other topics of interest to our members.
Joining the garden club is simple: attend two or more meetings to get accustomed to the members, our activities, and how we would like you to participate. If you like what you see and hear, fill our the contact box on this page or send a request for more information about joining our garden club to our President at hillandvalleygardenclub@gmail.com
