Please welcome our newest garden club: Rooted Together Gardeners! Led by president, Amanda Linder, this club is off to a wonderful start! In just a short time, they've grown to 17 members and continue to welcome gardeners of all experience levels — from beginners to lifelong enthusiasts.

They meet on the third Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm at Fair Oaks, enjoying engaging speakers, fellowship, and time to connect over our shared love of gardening. The enthusiasm and sense of community among their members has been inspiring, and they look forward to continuing to grow their club.
