I've never been in a garden club and never plan to be (other than yours!). I do the Master Gardener thing, though, and that is right up my alley. You can pick and choose exactly what you want to do. For instance, later this month I am going to visit an 'actual' garden club and talk with them about hummingbirds and plants that attract them :) Garden 'clubs' have never been my thing...but I could use a few laughs, so you must wear those boots:)Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12844013803699228989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289863235108169853.post-70211975066863913542013-01-13T11:09:57.664-05:002013-01-13T11:09:57.664-05:00I love the idea of a west coast chapeter of Dirtwo...I love the idea of a west coast chapeter of Dirtworks.

Two of them are structured and kinda formally run, so fun is not 'allowed'. The fun one disbanded because many of the group wanted structure and organization, to be members of the state organization. They cut out are fun project I used to write about. Up here, our garden clubs are members of a Federated Garden Clubs of NY. That makes them sound stuffy,no? They are too...<br />Hope your club gets lots of fun loving members.

Our local garden club is a lot like yours, stuffy and stodgy. The local birding club is even worse, rude old people who challenge every sighting you claim to have made.
