Our garden club is open to all those wishing to participate. We advertise and welcome the community to attend our monthly meeting programs. Our speakers are always highlighted in our local newspaper with an article about them and their presentation.
There are always several community members who attend, and many of them join our garden club after meeting our members and hearing about our projects. Many of our members have joined this way. Our speakers are from all parts of Maryland and adjoining states, and cover many different subjects, always providing interest to many in the community.
All monthly meetings will be held at Dutch’s Restaurant, 567 Glendale Road on Deep Creek Lake

followed by our business meeting, and lunch. Lunch is available with reservations required at the cost of $15.00 per person. Please click on Contact Us for more information.
