Membership Information
Desert Garden Club Information
Beginner or expert, anyone can improve their skills by attending the Sun City West Desert Garden Club meetings, held each month from September through May. No meetings are held in June, July or August.
Each meeting features a knowledgeable gardening professional or talented amateur speaking on how to grow, fertilize, irrigate and maintain everything from apples to zinnias.
A few times a year, our meeting may be changed to an all-day bus trip to a local botanical garden site or other places of gardening interest. One of our social events of the year is a catered fall meal.
The Desert Garden Club Greenhouse is located in the Beardsley Recreation Center courtyard, behind the meeting rooms. Greenhouse volunteers meet Monday through Friday mornings to harvest, grow, and care for plants all year long. Those plants are sold to members and to the general public. New volunteers are always welcome.
Plant Sales are every Thursday from 10:00 am to 1:00 pm, and from 8:00 am to noon on the first Saturday of the month
Our greenhouse is behind the Beardsley Recreation Center next to the courtyard on the corner of Beardsley Road and 128th Avenue in Sun City West.
