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, and the Members Newsletter. |

Due to safety guidelines regarding COVID-19, all in-person meetings have been suspended until further notice. For everyone's safety during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Garden Club Board has cancelled all indoor Garden Club activities until health authorities determine that it is safe to resume meeting indoors in person. In the interim, we are holding virtual monthly meetings via Zoom (September through May), sending out a monthly newsletter, and are beginning to plan for Garden Tour 2023 on June 24 and 25. Be safe and be well.
