Brown  thumb or green thumb! A garden club is all about learning about nature, our environment and gardening!
    Garden Lovers not only promotes a love of gardening but knowledge of the environment and nature in Mountainbrook.  Did you know that many wonderful native plants grow in our yards and in our park?  Do you know how to make things grown in southern soil?  What can you do about the deer?  If you want the answers to these and many other outdoor questions just come and visit our meetings. 
    Garden Lovers has contributed to the beautification of Mountainbrook for many years but we do need you to help us.  Being a member of Garden Lovers if taking an active part of our neighborhood.  You find out what is going on and what you can do to influence the direction of our area.
    Garden Lovers is part of a larger network of clubs that promote gardening, conservation, and environmental study.  We are part of the largest volunteer organization in North Carolina.  Among the state projects wee contribute to are the Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, The Daniel Boone Native Gardens in Boone, and the Garden for the Blind in Raleigh.  We promote  youth clubs, the Nature Conservancy, and scholarships to North Carolina Colleges and Universities. 
    Garden Lovers is also a part of The Charlotte Council of Garden Clubs and works to support its educational causes such as work with the Girl Scouts, work with the elderly, and providing programs and information for the public.
