The Garden & Nature Study Department of the Woman’s Department Club brings women together who share a love of gardens, nature, and environmental conservation. Our Department serves as a fertile ground for friendships in celebration of the beauty the world has to offer.

Although members may not have a green thumb or a place to garden, we all enjoy gathering at our monthly department meetings to learn from guest speakers or take trips to visit and learn about nature in our community and beyond. Typically, a meal is shared at each meeting or trip, a way to further connect with members and nurture friendships.

The Garden & Nature Department meets the second Friday of each month. You’ll find us outside during the warmer months as we explore gardens, parks, animals, and all things nature. Winter, when gardens and most critters are napping, we gather to celebrate friendships as we look forward to Spring.
