Gather in the Garden Series

Casual Garden Visits, Relaxed Conversations, Opportunities to Network

This is the heart of Gather in the Garden. The Gather in the Garden series is geared to gardeners who enjoy a close up look at others' gardens and chatting about gardening techniques, projects, landscaping, composting -- in other words, everything gardening.


These gatherings provide a chance to visit with local gardeners and learn the triumphs, hard work and challenges behind their garden's story.


Gather in the Garden hosts will open the very heart and soul of their efforts for a two-hour visit on the day and time of their choice. Days and times will vary (evenings, weekends). We are hoping for a nice variety -- something for everyone. Group size will be limited and will be open to GCMMGA members only. Registration will be necessary to keep group size limited.


The Gather in the Garden series is primarily an Association member-only event, however some Gathers may be open to nonmembers.
