FAQs

Who can join the Cedarburg Garden Club?

Anyone who loves gardening or wants to learn more about it! Whether you’re an experienced gardener or just getting started, we welcome all levels of enthusiasm and knowledge. Our members are a friendly, like-minded group who enjoy sharing their love of gardening and supporting each other’s growth. Learn more about Why you should join CGC here.

What does membership involve?

Our club is very active! Members help plant and maintain several public gardens in the Cedarburg area and participate in two to three fundraisers each year. These efforts support our contributions to local civic and charitable organizations, making a positive impact in our community. Membership dues are $30 annually.

What are the meetings like?

We meet monthly, and each meeting features a guest speaker who covers engaging topics related to gardening—such as landscape design, native plants, and conservation. Meetings are a great opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas, and find new inspiration for your own garden.

Our meetings  are held primarily on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 6:00pm at the Cedarburg American Legion Post. Come to one meeting and if you like what you see, come to a second meeting and you can join right then. Please email us at cedarburggardenclub@gmail.com

Are there any special events for members?

Yes! Each year, we organize an exciting bus trip to a botanical garden or arboretum, allowing members to explore beautiful landscapes and gather fresh ideas. We also host an annual tour of members’ gardens, providing insight into each other’s gardening styles and creativity.
