Since this outdoor gardening season is over, it's time to start thinking about next year's season. You can help dispel winter's gloom by making notes for next year's gardens or by joining a garden club to learn more about gardening over the winter and to meet people with the same interests as yourself.  There are a great variety of garden clubs to join, depending on your interest.  See our Garden Club page for links and information on the various clubs around the state.  Upcoming Garden Club meetings are also listed on the Calendar of Events page.
