People are the most important aspect of our organization and belonging to a club at a local level provides many tangible and intangible benefits. Local benefits vary between clubs, but include education, community beautification, friendships, and gardening.

• Optional membership, at a very favorable discount, in the American Horticultural Society,  through a revised partnership with TGOA/MGCA  (Effective 01/01/07)
• The optional AHS membership includes subscription to The American Gardener, a bimonthly AHS magazine containing useful gardening information and professional quality photography.  Published by AHS.
• A new TGOA/MGCA Newsletter, sent bimonthly to all TGOA/MGCA  members and posted on this website, containing information about clubs and the headquarters.  (Effective 01/01/07)
