The Watkinsville Garden Club (WGC) was formed in 1940 and has over 60 members, both women and men. If you are interested in joining, please come to our next meeting.
Next meeting: November 5, 2026
Union Christian Church
1130 Union Church Road
Watkinsville, Georgia
10 am
Speaker and facilitator: Shawna McGrath
The garden club will have a Seed Swap along with information on how to store your seeds for the winter. Shawna will be discussing proper care and early indoor planting for spring transplanting.
All members: Please start collecting your fall seeds from your flowers, vegetable gardens, or any flowering plant that produces seeds. Bring these seeds to our meeting in November.
After the presentation, everyone will walk around and collect the seeds or cuttings that they would like to take home.
Everyone is asked to bring small snack size bags and a marker so that you can take a few seeds, place them in a bag, label the bag, and then move to the next table.
Seed examples: dried zinnia heads with seeds in them, Cat Whiskers, lantana, marigolds, etc. (perennials with seeds or annuals with seeds)
Any vegetable garden seed
Rose of Sharon seeds
You can also bring cuttings from indoor plants like Hairy Begonia or violets or any other plant you can propagate in water.Bring the cuttings in water.
This will be a fun experience, and everyone can go home with some new seeds or a new plant to propagate for next spring planting.

The WGC and Thomas Farm Preserve
During the spring and summer members of The Watkinsville Garden Club have planted and maintained new bushes and flowers near the entrance of Thomas Farm Preserve.
