The Benefits of Belonging to a GCFM Garden Club

The rewards of joining a local club go beyond the enjoyment of growing things. Garden Club membership opens the door for you to explore a variety of aspects of gardening with others who share many common interests and goals:

Learn through educational gardening programs
Participate in the state garden club network by attending meetings, conferences and conventions
Garden for a purpose with community service projects
Promote environmental/conservation causes

Share your love of gardening and have fun!

How To Join a Garden Club

Send us your information using our online form and we will contact you with the name and details of a Club in your area. If you prefer to locate a garden club in your area, see our Clubs page or contact us at membership@mainegardenclubs.org.

If there is no garden club located in your general area, then you could also apply to the Garden Club Federation of Maine to become what is termed a Member-at-Large. You would be eligible to participate in all GCFM activities that are open to regular club members. You would also receive our electronic GCFM Newsletter. To become a Member-at-Large, please fill out the form below and state that you wish to join as a Member-at-Large. You'll be contacted as to where to send the yearly fee for this category of membership (as of June 1, 2016, the fee is $15 per year).

Once you are a member of a Federated Garden Club or become a Member-at-Large, you are also a member of the Garden Club Federation of Maine, New England Garden Clubs, Inc. and National Garden Clubs.
