Our club is dedicated to providing unique, informative, fun and energizing events throughout the year. Educational content includes recurring interactive monthly presentations and hands on learning experiences about working with nature. Ideas for our experiences and presentations come from our members. Participating in active learning has measurable benefits to both our physical and mental health and has consistently shown to improve your overall quality of life. Our events create the opportunity to make new acquaintances, connect with other people and the community. Have fun, meet people and participate in planning these events!
Join us during the months of September through May for special presentations featuring expert speakers on a variety of garden topics. Our monthly meetings begin at 10:00am and can be attended in-person at the Orcas Center - Madrona Room, or virtually using Zoom. Following the speaker's presentation, we will enjoy time to meet other members and visit while snacking on homemade treats. When possible, recordings will be posted and available online about a week after the meeting. Meetings are free and open to the public.
Throughout the year, club volunteers plan and organize a variety of different experiences to broaden our learning. These opportunities aid us in learning new skills while allowing us to meet other gardeners too and enjoy the camaraderie. Unique communications will be sent in advance to inform you of each happening regarding the topic, location and date. Typically, space is limited so sign up early and let us know you’re coming. We look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event!

Friends and Fitness
Join us for some exercise and enjoyment of the natural beauty of the San Juan Islands. Most weeks we’ll meet up for an easy hike (around 3 miles). Once a month (or so) we’ll be joined by one of the local land stewards for a guided tour. To see the walks, along with details (distance and difficulty), see: Club Calendar.
If you have any questions or would like to “host” us for a tour, contact [email protected].
Orcas Island Garden Club Book Club
The Garden Club Book Club meets every other month at the Orcas Island Public Library (with a break during the summer gardening months) to discuss books related to the natural world in all its forms. For the schedule, see: Club Calendar.
