The Amherst Garden Club meets monthly from September through June. Meetings are held the first Thursday of the month (except in Sept., when the meeting is the first Thursday after Labor Day). Most meetings include a featured speaker.
Our business meetings begin at 9:15 am, followed by our featured speaker at 10:30 am.
For our 2021-2022 season, The Amherst Garden Club will decide month by month whether to meet in person or remotely.
