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.


SCROLL DOWN TO SEE UPCOMING "GATHERS" &  CHECK BACK FREQUENTLY TO SEE WHAT  WE'VE ADDED!

Kelly Hanna's - Friday, Aug. 7 from 7-8:30 pm

Information about this Open Gathering -- Note that RSVP is required

Kelly Hanna’s family has gardened in the Clancy area for 5 generations. Kelly’s father and maternal grandparents gardened for economic necessity in their lives. Their stories and helping in their

hobby gardens in his youth were the seeds for his gardening interest. Kelly grows primarily annual

vegetables in the garden. Many are started under lights in the house and transplanted out into the

garden as the season progresses. 


Much of Kelly’s lot is sloped and over the years he has built terraces of stone and ferrocement to accommodate the garden. He even brought in heavy equipment to place a hoop house. Kelly considers his garden an educational garden and is always trying new methods and

plant varieties. His garden is primarily organic and no-dig with open-pollinated vegetable varieties.


Come see vegetable varieties and landscaping that you might not have seen before!


Please RSVP to Joane Bayer at jbayer.mt@gmail.com or Glenda Oestreicher at 1goestreicher@gmail.com
