Our mission is to stimulate interest in the knowledge and appreciation of gardening; to protect native trees, plants, and birds; and to promote beautification and conservation of the East Lake Community.
We love to learn about anything gardening-related! We spend time getting to know our neighbors, learning about gardening in Atlanta, and giving back to our community. We hold monthly educational meetings, usually with a guest speaker giving a 45-60 minute presentation, preceded by a half-hour of socializing and refreshments. We meet on the 3rd Monday of each month at the Zaban Center within East Lake Park. Membership dues are $20 per year, per household.
We give back to our community in a variety of ways: through beautification projects, park clean-up and maintenance days, helping to restore a natural wetland preserve, and providing garden ‘make-overs’ for elderly neighbors.
Throughout the year we hold special events ranging from tours of local nurseries and gardens, to out-of-town trips for gardening events, to ‘hands-on’ activities such as creating hypertufa troughs and learning how to make a pond.
We also participate in our neighborhood farmers market (East Lake Farmers Market), by selling cut flower bouquets, edible flowers, gardening-related gifts, and garden club merchandise.
We are always looking for new members, so please visit us soon!
