Meetings
We meet on the second Thursday of every month except July and August. Club meetings are at the Bethel Congregational Church, 5150 SW Watson Ave, Beaverton, OR 97005. Doors open at 9:00 am.
Our May meeting is on Thursday, May 23rd, as a concession to the timing of our plant sale .
Our Social Hour is from 9:00 – 10:00. Please join us for coffee, tea and light refreshments, and remember to bring your own insulated cup to help us reduce our paper consumption.
We have a Take & Trade table, where members bring in garden-related items that someone else might be interested in giving a new home.
We have a monthly raffle that includes amazing baskets designed and curated by Leslie Niiya. Proceeds from this raffle are given to local food banks.
Our meeting begins at 10:00 with our Guest Speaker, who has the floor until about 11:00. Members are welcome to stay for the Business part of the meeting, or they can choose to leave after hearing the Speaker.
Each month, a member of BGC gives a short talk on a subject that they are deeply familiar with, such as herbs, tomato growing, Mason bees, propagation, container design, etc.
