What Our Members Say
Our members love to share why they enjoy being part of the society. Here's what they have to say:

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

What great people and what wonderful gardens! The monthly meetings are a source of great information for making gardening easier and my yard more beautiful!

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
