Without our volunteers, this club would not exist. As with any organization based on the goodwill of their volunteers, the more individuals who participate the less the work for all.
Our garden club is renowned for the enthusiasm of its members, the hard work of our committee heads and Board, and the unstinting enthusiasm of our volunteers. Volunteer hours contribute so much to the success of the club. Please contact any of our Executive or Committee chairs to inquire about volunteering on any of the committees shown below:
