2023 - 2024 Programs

Join us for a year of learning, friendship, and serving the community.  Meetings are open to members and non-members.


Meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month at St Andrew's Fellowship Hall on Dexter/Ann Arbor Rd, Dexter. Parking is available at Dexter Area Historical Museum.


Doors open at 6:30 pm with time to socialize. Our program runs from 7:00 - 8:00 with the business meeting starting at 8:00. 


Non-members are welcome to join us for one meeting without paying dues. If we are holding a workshop, we may not have sufficient materials for non-members to participate, although they are welcome to chat and get to know us.

October 10 Swap or Steal Event

Please bring a plant (bought or dug from your garden) that you think someone else may want. Label with its name, soil/sunlight requirements and any other care instructions. We then have a lucky-draw swap and (vigorously contested) steal so that everyone goes home with a new plant.
