GARDEN CLUB
Gardening as a profession, a pastime, and a philosophy.
For nearly 30 years, I have worked in all kinds of gardens, in all kinds of places, alongside clients and colleagues, artisans and tradespeople, plant specialists, architects, designers, and builders. It has been a privilege to inhabit this world.
GARDEN CLUB is an effort to extend that community to create a space where knowledge, skill, judgment, and experience can circulate more freely.
A Few Things I Have Learned
- Great gardens take time to develop and evolve into what they want to be
- Sustainability in all its forms is key to success
- Gardening can be a solitary business, full of joys and heartbreaks that are not so easy to share
- The process of gardening is as satisfying if not more so than the product of the work
- Garden knowledge comes from many sources, some science, some lore, all open to discussion
- Relationships built around gardening are wonderful things

Why It Matters
Gardens take time. They demand attention, patience, and judgment. They evolve slowly. They succeed through accumulated knowledge much of it hard-won.
Whether gardening is your profession, your serious pastime, or part of your philosophy of living, the work deepens when it is shared.
GARDEN CLUB is designed to be an ongoing practice, not a course, not a trend, but a steady place for serious gardeners to gather.
The work is often solitary. The learning doesn't have to be.

The Invitation
Our founding season has finished. If you've been referred by one of our Founding members — welcome to GARDEN CLUB 2.0. If you've found your way here through other means, we'd be glad to learn more about you, your garden, and what draws you to this work.
We're opening the doors wider for this next season. If you know a gardener who'd love a place like this — bring them with you.
