For more than 70 years, the Pound Ridge Garden Club has been home to generations of horticulture and floral design enthusiasts. In addition to learning together about gardening technique and flower arranging, we collaborate on a wide range of civic projects to preserve and enhance the natural beauty and neighborly spirit of Pound Ridge.
We are always happy to welcome new members at any level of experience, whether you have extensive knowledge of horticulture and Floral design or little or no knowledge at all. The club is a place to share ideas and information, learn from our many accomplished and talented speakers, and develop your skills as a gardener and designer. |

Last meeting
At our June meeting, Hodgins Harvest's Founder and "Chief Fungi Enthusiast" Aaron Hodgins Davis, discussed the many types of mushrooms and explained how they grow. He showed us how he grows mushrooms at Hodgins Harvest. Afterwards, we all got a chance to create bags of mushroom substrate to take home to harvest our own edible mushrooms. From left to right, photos show setup, after two weeks, first sign of sprouting, and then day 2 after sprouting.
