There are four garden clubs in Wellesley, each with its own distinctive focus and civics projects. Each club meets regularly to learn about gardening, share tips and advice, and sometimes even help each other work in their gardens. Monthly meetings typically include a social hour; followed by a business meeting segment during which members discuss upcoming projects, such as community plantings, or fundraisers. After that, there is often a presentation by a lecturer, or a hands-on workshop.
