General Information
Parkview’s thriving garden club – officially known as the Parkview Horticultural Society – was founded in October 1993 by a group of residents who shared an interest in gardening. Our mission is ”to be a forum for sharing gardening information as well as enhancing friendships within our community".
The club meets monthly, September through May, to socialize and to enjoy a program on a horticultural topic. Additional activities include projects to help maintain and beautify our parks, plant exchanges, neighborhood-wide garden tours, field trips and working with the agents to maintain an inventory of our street and park trees and maps of the parks.
Our meeting program committee draws upon speakers from a wide variety of institutions, organizations, businesses and also private individuals. Occasionally we hear from one of our own talented members. Voluntary dues of $50 per year underwrite speaker’s fees and the club’s membership. The PHS meets on the third Wed of the month, Sept through May, at 7:00 pm. A garden club member hosts each month’s meeting. Monthly program announcements/reminders are emailed to our mailing list the week before and again the week-of the meetings. It is not necessary to be a dues-paying PHS member to be on our mailing list. All residents are welcome. To be added to the mailing list contact Judith Giraud - judith.stl@gmail.com
You need not be a gardener to enjoy our programs. Our subjects range from topics on gardening, conservation, native plants, ecology and more. For example, for our January meeting every year we watch and ask questions in person as an artist from the Art In Bloom event at the Art Museum creates a floral arrangement. The host of this meeting gets to choose an art work from their home as the subject and gets to keep the floral arrangement created before our eyes!
Please join us at one of our meetings or activities.
