The Plaza Garden Club has been promoting the love of gardening, supporting neighborhood events and projects, and fostering friendship for over 40 years.
​
Monthly meetings are held the 2nd Monday evening of each month, September through
May, beginning at 6:45 pm. The meetings typically include snacks and desserts, a program, a business meeting, and socializing. Programs are varied and include guest speakers, hands-on projects, and demonstrations. The club also coordinates occasional outings to gardens or areas of interest, participates in various civic projects around the neighborhood, and hosts fundraising events. In December, in lieu of a meeting, members enjoy a festive annual Holiday Party.
