Meetings

Monthly Meetings

Monthly meetings are held on the 2nd Friday of each month at 7pm. Historically we have met at the Missouri Botannical Garden. Current meetings are being held via Zoom until further notice (last updated February 2022)

The modified program consists of a speaker presentation followed by a short business meeting. We have continued the tradition of seeing member’s plants that are in bloom that month and voting on our favorites in the People’s Choice Award.
