Want to learn more about plants and make friends? Join the Bartlett Horticulture Club. The inaugural meeting is January 14 from 6-7pm.
The goal of the club is to create a place of community where you can learn something, meet new people, and practice your plant skills in a casual environment. Some meetings will have attendance capped when materials are limited, announced in advance.
The meetings are led by one of our Educators at the Arboretum, William, and assisted with the help of our other educators at times. The meetings begin with Arboretum or club updates that need to be shared, then progress to a brief lecture on that month’s topic, before diving into the activity itself. The club houses a collection of plants in the greenhouse. Each meeting will be centered around one main activity, announced beforehand.
The club is open to anyone 13+ or children who are accompanied by an adult. Anyone who has an interest in plants, horticulture, gardening, or nature is welcome to join, regardless of prior experience.
Members are free and non-members can join for $10.
The Bartlett Arboretum Horticulture Club meets monthly, on the second Tuesday of the month, from 6:00-7:00 pm unless otherwise noted. Meetings will take place in the Adult Classroom in the Silver Education Building. Some meetings might be outdoor centric, but we will always meet in the classroom first and then travel outdoors to the specified location.
For the first meeting, please bring in a plant for Plant Show-And-Tell with the group. Afterward, we will repot and propagate these plants or ones from the greenhouse.
If you want to become a member and attend every Horticulture Club meeting for no additional cost, join here today.
