The Midwest Chapter schedules various group activities during the year that may include weekend trips to visit various Midwest gardens and arboretums, summer meetings at a member’s garden or other group functions. These are fun activities and are great opportunities to see some fabulous gardens while getting to spend time with fellow gardening friends.
