activities and events

Welcome!

We have regular meetings on the third Tuesday of each month. The club hosts speakers with a variety of specialties from floral design to writing garden-themed “who done it” novels. We also conduct hands-on workshops where you can create showstopping wreaths to dried flower note cards. We invite you to take a look.


Our monthly Tuesday meetings are held at the Carriage House at Gore Place, 52 Gore Street, Waltham, MA.


Tuesday meetings start at 6:30 pm with coffee and refreshments, then we have a meeting of the members at 7:00 pm, and the program starts at 7:30 pm (any exceptions are noted below).


Our program year runs from September to June - scroll through to see what we are doing for the coming months.
