The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul. —Alfred Austin

There are also several appointed positions that need to be filled. We really need a Social Media person (Facebook and website). There are also two Director-at-Large positions vacant.

If you know someone who is plant, conservation or nature oriented, especially if they are a compelling speaker, please ask them if they would be interested in speaking at one of our meetings and pass the names on to Steve Stasulis at stasulisss@hotmail.com.

Chapter meetings are held the fourth Thursday of the month, September through May, except as noted below. Meetings are free and open to the public so bring a friend. Light refreshments are served before the meeting at 6:30 pm. The speaker starts at 7:00 pm followed by a brief chapter meeting.

Meetings will be held in the refurbished Old Administration Building, Garden Room, at Norfolk Botanical Garden (NBG). Note that occasional scheduling conflicts at the Garden may necessitate a room change. The alternate location will likely be the Holly Room in Baker Hall. Please check the schedule each month to verify the location of our meeting.

Gates close at 7pm so please arrive in time to get in.
