About the Club

The River Cities Garden Club is one of the largest and active garden clubs in the area. Rivercities is a non-traditional garden club. It is geared for working people, couples and men. We will meet on the first Sunday of the month, usually at the Barnwell Center. The dues are $20.00 a year which will cover membership on all levels of the federation and will also cover the cost of two publications, the state and The National Gardener.
