Garden Club Meetings are held on the fourth Monday at 10 a.m. from January through December. Most sessions begin with a short business meeting followed by a lecture or planned activity. All meetings are open to everyone, member or not. Officers for the following year are nominated at the September meeting and voted on at the October meeting. We are always looking for new talent to serve on the board.
Garden Club Dues 2026 Dues are due and payable by January 1, 2026. The dues for Calendar Year 2026 are $15.00 payable to Riderwood Garden Club. Please put your check (preferable) or cash in an envelope and send by internal mail to Tom Adkins.
Garden Club Rules
Rules will be posted inside the shed, in the standing frame outside the garden and on Riderwoodlife.com.
*RESPECT your neighbor’s plot. Do not excessively shade your neighbor’s plot and keep your plot weeded. No trees allowed.
*Keep the path around your plot weed free. Plots along fence are also responsible for weeding their part of the fence line.
*Return hoses to their stand and turn faucets off.
*If a plot is unweeded for more than two weeks during the period of April 15-Nov 15th, the plot manager will contact the plot owner to find out why and report the situation to the garden club board. The board will decide what action to take. Unless there are extenuating circumstances, the board may ask the plot owner to relinquish the plot.”
