Get Involved
As a volunteer organization, the vitality of our club depends on our members! We offer a wide variety of opportunities for involvement, such as attending workshops and programs, helping with our Plant Sale, participating on a civic gardening team, or volunteering for a program such as Discovery Day or the Garden Tour.

Fundraiser - Cookbook - From Baked Beans to Bibimbap: Lexington's History Through Food
