Guests are welcome! The public and guests of members are always welcome at our meetings. The two exceptions are the December Holiday Meeting and the June Fling, our last meeting of the year, where you must be a member to attend. 

Social time and raffle. This is a good time to welcome new members and meet up with garden club friends. You can also purchase optional raffle tickets for a chance to win items donated by members or browse the free book exchange table.

Business report. At each meeting, a report is given on activities of the board and committees as well as upcoming events and projects.

Program.  The main program, which covers topics selected by our members, is presented by gardening experts and  speakers from around the Puget Sound area.

Sharing. Members are encouraged to bring items from their garden for 'show and tell.' These can range from simple cuttings placed in a vase to more elaborate arrangements. They are placed on tables as centerpieces to enjoy. You will also be given the opportunity to describe and name the flora and foliage in your arrangement.  

The activities committee organizes field trips and fun activities throughout the year. We've found that members enjoy additional opportunities to get to know one another and share common interests. Photos of some of our recent activities can be found under AGC Club Happenings and include field trips to local nurseries and gardens, as well as workshops to craft unique garden art.

In addition to social opportunities, the Arlington Garden Club is active in the local community. The club's fundraising events support local scholarships and community beautification projects among other contributions voted on by the board.
