Our members, being elderly are not as active as they have been in the past. These members are such a value to our club as they are a treasure trove of information about every aspect of gardening. One of our members won an award at the recent Pensacola Interstate Fair.

We would like very much to get new members. We meet on the 4th Friday of the month at 1:30 p.m. in the Garden Café.
