BECOMING A NEW GARDENER

​

SSCG is comprised of a diverse membership from many neighborhoods, ages, backgrounds, employment, abilities and skill level-- learning and growing our own food.  We have a common desire to garden nutrient rich food, herbs and flowers and to do so organically.  If you want to join us, we welcome you into this community.  

​

Please note, this site is new (2019).  Every year, we'll add new function to this website, and this process of registration will become more and more simple.  Thank you for your patience.
