Because of safety regulations during the pandemic, in-person meetings and other public events such as the Garden Tour have been postponed until such time that they are allowed. In a move to keep our community and members engaged and informed, the Garden Club is offering a monthly Newsletter and a featured Webinar. Grants and other community support continue.
Additionally, we are having our annual membership drive. We invite you to renew your membership or to become a new member. |

Bees & Seeds - Common Wonders of the GardenOn Wednesday, January 20, at 10:30 am, the Orcas Island Garden Club will partner with the Orcas Library to host author and biologist Thor Hanson for a Zoom talk about bees and seeds. You must preregister below. Once you have registered, you will be sent a link for the presentation. This is the first Zoom program the garden club has offered since in-person meetings were cancelled last Spring. We are pleased to offer this remote presentation to our members and our community.
Join us in welcoming Thor Hanson for an exploration of pollination, germination, and other wonders at the heart of gardening. Indispensable but often overlooked, bees and seeds never cease to amaze. Hanson's books include Buzz, The Triumph of Seeds, Feathers and The Impenetrable Forest, as well as a children's book, Bartholomew Quill. |

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. |
