The Eugene Garden Club was organized on April 28, 1927, and became a member of the Oregon State Federation of Garden Clubs in 1929. The club was formed to stimulate the love of gardening, horticulture, and floral artistry, aid in the protection and conservation of plants, trees, and birds, and promote civic beauty and community welfare.
The Eugene Garden Club is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, scientific, and benevolent purposes.

Welcome Back, Harvest, and Ice Cream Social
This is the third year of our harvest fest. Bring your overflow of produce, starts, seeds, etc., to share. The exchange will take place in the workroom. Pictures of your mature seeds/starts are a plus.

September 25th
Field Trip to Gathering Together Farm Tour and Lunch
$10 fee for the property tour
You can bring the money with you and pay on the day. Check out the website for their current lunch menu. This may change somewhat by mid-September as ingredients come in and go out of season, but this will give you a general idea of choices and price range.
- Lunch can be paid for at the time of order.
- Carpool will also be available from the Winco Parking lot across from Costco.
Gathering Together Farm has been a longtime favorite destination. Here, you can peruse organic produce, pastries, and other local artisanal goods or enjoy a cup of coffee. You can also check out their farmstand, flower garden, restaurant, and more (gatheringtogetherfarm.com)
