If you are a person who enjoys gardens of flowers, vegetables and fruit or who enjoys using garden items for home decorating, you may want to consider joining like-minded people. Through garden clubs, you can find a wealth of gardening information for Montana's unique and varied conditions. Through various activities, projects and service, we add to our own lives as well as the life of our communities. Search out your local or area established garden club. All clubs are open to new members, especially if you are interested in being active.

The private and public gardens we have scattered across Montana are wonderful "destinations". Gardeners love to share their work with an appreciative audience. The experience is mutually beneficial as we see the possibilities we have here in Montana. Don't miss an opportunity to visit someone else's garden. You can always learn something from the experience.
