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.
Beginning in January of 2023, we will be offering hybrid meetings. You may attend in person or remotely through Zoom. Meetings will begin at 10 AM and will be recorded for later viewing. Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month at the Orcas Center, September through May. Nine meetings typically feature presentations by expert speakers on a variety of garden topics. Please check back for updates on meetings, the annual garden tour, and the Members Newsletter. |

Due to safety guidelines regarding COVID-19, all in-person meetings of the Garden Club were suspended from 2019 through 2022. In the interim, we held virtual monthly meetings via Zoom (September through May), sent out a monthly newsletter, and are now beginning to plan for Garden Tour 2023 on June 24 and 25.
Beginning on January 18, 2023, we will begin holding hybrid meetings -- you may attend meetings in-person in the Madrona Room at the Orcas Center OR you may continue to attend virtually through the Zoom link above. Wearing a mask at the in-person meetings is not required but would be very much appreciated as we continue to be mindful of the health and safety on one another. We will not be resuming the social hour with hot drinks and snacks at this time, but hope to be able to do so in the future. |
