The Willow Garden Club is an independent organization with everyone welcome. Our main goal is to have fun while we educate ourselves on all aspects of gardening in Alaska. Our summer project is to maintain and beautify the Library Garden at the Willow Community Center. Our members volunteer by weeding and watering this special garden. Our programs are held at the Willow Community Center on the 3rd Thursday of the month starting at 7pm, unless otherwise announced. Scheduled business meetings, open to anyone wishing to attend, will be limited to four per year, and will be held at 6:30pm prior to the programs. Come and learn with us, join us on our field trips, make new friends, and have some fun!
