The Windsor Garden Group's Mission Statement
To exchange gardening ideas and discoveries, as well as seeds and plants, to do some community service, and to keep gardening fun!
Who has more fun than us?
In the Windsor Garden Group we seem to ask that a lot! We fill our meetings, our seasons, and our lives with fun activities, foods, and people!
The Garden Group was formed in the summer of 1997 by a group of easy-going gardening friends and that's what we all remain today. We meet every other Tuesday, sometimes more in the summer! Our meetings begin at 10am and dues are still just $12 per year. Our meetings are held at various members' homes and gardens (on an informal, volunteer basis). This first meeting of the month typically includes a fun garden tour or craft. The second meeting of the month is a "business" meeting and even these are fun! We often have optional workdays or special field trips on the alternating Tuesdays.

For the day ~ for the year ~ or for 10 years!
Through the years the Windsor Garden Group has had meetings that included a Garlic Festival, candle stamping, creating nut & cone topiaries, gourmet cooking (and eating), making garden ornaments and markers, designing our own seed packets, creating care baskets for shut-ins, flower presses, mod-podge designs, pressed-flower projects, and many plant exchanges.
Our Public Programs have included Moss Gardening, Roses, Herbs, May Day, Pressed Flowers, and Container Gardening.
Our Holiday classes have been a hit since our very first one! We've made and decorated wreaths, swags, evergreen baskets, nut & cone wreaths, candle centerpieces, Mistletoe kissing balls, mini Christmas trees, and ornaments.
