I attended the excellent and informative annual Horticulture Symposium (2018) where I learned so much about native plants from real experts! The beautiful visual presentations were accompanied by helpful printed materials so I could really pay attention to the speakers as I didn’t need to write a lot down.  It was a great use of a March Saturday and I learned many tips about gardening in North Carolina

​Members of this group are among the best gardeners in Greensboro. I have learned so much from them and have so many unique and wonderful plants found at their biennial plant swaps. Always great speakers at the monthly meetings and the annual symposium. Whether you are a novice or seasoned gardener in the Triad, there is no better organization to join

I have learned so much from this group over the years – we have every level of gardening enthusiasts from beginners to experts, and there are no stupid questions ever! The monthly presentations are so informative, and many times the speakers will bring rare plants for sale. This and the plant swaps alone make membership a great value. The garden tours also get us into private gardens that help us appreciate each gardens’ uniqueness
