Growing community with gardening
WGGC is a South Bay gardening club that brings together all levels of gardeners. We are a friendly group with a common interest in learning, improving, and sharing. You do not need to live in Willow Glen to join or attend an event.
Grow with Us
Members drive the club.
Are you interested in succulents, roses, organic gardening, winter veggies, or tomatoes? Members are free to form committees to explore common passions and learn together.
Get to know your neighbors, your micro-climate, and garden possibilities in Willow Glen.
Meet gardeners in the area, which makes it easier to split a load of compost and share tips and tricks!
The focus of our club is community, educational, and social.

Second Tuesday of the month at 7pm
