Provisional Requirements and Information
Note: If you have a friend in the Club, she/he will be your "mentor," that is, your guide through the first year. If you found us online, we will assign a Garden Club member as your mentor. Mentors join Provisionals at program meetings, competitions, the Annual Meeting and Awards Presentation in May, and social events, and keep track of their progress. You'll find that everyone is more than willing to help you through the year.
Provisional members are responsible for completing the following requirements to become Active members:
-
One Program meeting
-
Two workshops
-
Two sessions helping our gardeners in Avis Campbell Gardens
-
One work session in Church Street Gardens or the Church Street Circle, helping our gardeners maintain our plantings
-
One Garden Therapy session
-
Two of the following:
― One Flower Design entry (not judged)
― One Horticultural specimen (not judged)
― One Botanical Arts entry (not judged).
Provisional Dues: $100. The official Provisional year begins on April 1, but applications are accepted throughout the year.
Provisionals are encouraged to attend all Program Meetings and Workshops where they will get to know and be greeted by our members and learn about all the things that we do.
