Tours
Visiting gardens and nurseries is fun and inspirational, and the club has tours big and small. Join us on our visits to gardens across a street or across the state and leave with ideas, inspiration, and maybe a plant or two.
EGC Projects
Join club projects and get to know fellow gardeners better. EGC has projects for people who love reading books with garden backdrops, who enjoy interacting with assisted living residents through flower arranging classes, who like getting in the dirt to beautify the community, and more!
Gardeners know all the dirt!
