We are not a typical garden club, in that we have an open, unlimited enrollment and we keep our dues ($15/year) low to cover only the essential costs of producing and distributing our monthly newsletter, Dig It! Members are free to pick and choose which activities they wish to attend, and group initiatives are driven by individual members stepping into leadership roles. Business meetings are held monthly, separate from MCG programs and workshops, and are open to any members who wish to help the officers/board set plans and policies.

Since we first met in the living room at 10 Maple Street, we've planted little spots of beauty around our downtown (supported by proceeds by an annual plant sale). We've sponsored many interesting speakers, workshops, and activities. And we've offered area gardeners an opportunity to meet one another and work together on group projects, trade plants and information, and enjoy each others' gardens. A recent venture in exhibitionism -- a landscape display and a room display -- resulted in two first-place blue ribbons at the Central Massachusetts Flower Show
