The purpose of the Orcas Island Garden Club is to stimulate knowledge and love of gardening, to cooperate in the protection and conservation of nature, and to assist in the beautification of the community.

Before the pandemic, the Garden Club met at 10 AM on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Orcas Center, September through May. Nine meetings typically featured presentations by expert speakers on a variety of garden topics, followed by a small social hour. Please check back for updates on meetings, the annual garden tour, new Webinars, and the Members Newsletter.
