The Modern Garden Club: Growing Together in the Social Age

This year we begin an exciting new chapter that allows us to share our passion for gardening with a wider audience. Through platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and Substack, we can highlight our events, celebrate member achievements and exchange ideas instantly with each other.

Our social media mission is probably familiar to you- to cultivate beauty, conservation and education through a lifelong love of gardening. Through social media we extend our educational reach to connect with gardeners of all ages and skill levels to provide continuous learning, creativity and friendship.

We will tend to the hearts of Georgia by posting tips, techniques and green wisdom from the thousands of creative minds of our members. It’s like a potluck of plant knowledge – everyone brings something to grow on.
