Purpose and Overview of Club : The Lost Pines Garden Club is an organization which promotes central Texas gardening through networking, presentations by experts, and facilitating access to information related to gardening. Monthly programs include a social/networking time, a short business meeting and normally a informative presentation or demonstration by a person knowledgeable in some aspect of gardening in our area. We are associated with the Texas Garden Clubs, the National Garden Club, and the Bastrop Chamber of Commerce. Membership is open to anyone who is interested in gardening (flowers, vegetables, trees, shrubs, etc.). We also do projects which help beautify the community.
A major theme for this year is exchanging practical information on the challenges (e.g., drought) and opportunities of gardening in the Central Texas/Bastrop County area. One useful aspect is for members to exchange information with each other (e.g, what worked or did not work so well). One aspect of this is to collect and share information which may be useful to each other. Click here for some information which may be useful to you.
