Our monthly meetings feature guest speakers, workshops, horticulture and design exhibits, raffles, a business meeting, conservation displays and a light lunch. Although most meetings are for members and their guests only, our Club holds an Annual Fund Raising Luncheon and an open meeting that are open to the public with reservations. AGC publishes a monthly Newsletter describing upcoming meetings, horticultural garden tips, field trips, local events, etc.
Community activities include creating floral arrangements for the home-bound, decorating the Northport Hospice House, Vanderbilt Mansion and other locations for the holidays. Every year donations are made to local groups and the club sponsors a scholarship for a deserving Northport HS student. (See WHAT WE DO drop-down tab)
