From seedling to harvest, Rye Garden Club members have long celebrated the colorful bounty from their carefully tended gardens. The Horticulture Committee nourishes the love of gardening by instructing members through hands-on workshops, lectures, and sharing resources. In addition, we work to educate our members and the surrounding community on the importance of native plants in our gardens.

Coordinating with other GCA Clubs, Rye Garden Club members participate in seed and plant exchanges and successfully compete in flower shows.
