We continue to maintain the heritage garden at the Westerson Cabin in the Cochrane Ranche.  Thank you to everyone who helped with the spring clean up, stepped to help on a 2 week rotating basis, and helped put the beds to rest for the winter. See you in the spring.

We have monthly meetings from Sept through April(excepting Nov/Dec when we have our annual Xmas workshop) with guest speakers, preserves and photo competitions and lively round table discussions.  We also enjoy touring member gardens, field trips, workshops, plant trials & plant exchanges.

We are as varied as the plants in our gardens but we all have one thing in common.
 WE LOVE GARDENING!
