Meetings are usually held the second Sunday of each month from September through June (third Sunday in March and May) at the Horticulture Center in West Fairmount Park (near Belmont Avenue and Montgomery Drive) in Philadelphia, PA. The meeting begins at 11:00 AM and we have to be out of the building before 3:00 PM.

Our meetings comprise of a short business session, a speaker or slide presentation, Plant-of-the-month competition, show and tell, and plant raffle. We also have time to socialize and eat before and after the business meeting. Guests are always welcome.
