Where to Connect With the Redding Garden Club Online Community

Updated

The Redding Garden Club's online community hub is its Facebook Group, where members and neighbors ask questions, post photos, and share gardening experiences. The club's website highlights the group as a space with 600+ community members. Use the Facebook Group for day-to-day conversation, and the website's Contact and Membership pages for official inquiries and joining.

What the Facebook Group Is For

According to the club's homepage, the group is meant for:

  • Asking questions — plant care, conservation, native and invasive plant topics, and general gardening advice
  • Posting photos — garden progress, blooms, and club projects
  • Sharing experiences — field trips, workshops, and community activities

The site describes the group as having 600+ community members, so it functions as the club's informal, conversational channel rather than a formal membership system.

When to Use the Group vs. the Website

Need Best channel
Ask a gardening question or get quick input Facebook Group
Share photos and personal experiences Facebook Group
Join the club or ask about membership Website Membership page
Contact officers or send a formal message Website Contact page
Check meeting dates, events, or the plant sale Website Meetings & Events pages

The group complements the website — it doesn't replace the official pages for membership, volunteering, or event details.

How to Get Started

  1. Search for the group. The club promotes its Facebook Group on its homepage; look for the group linked or named there so you land on the correct one.
  2. Request to join. Facebook groups typically require joining before posting; follow the group's prompts.
  3. Introduce yourself and ask. A short post about your gardening interests or a specific question is the fastest way to get responses from the 600+ member community.
  4. Verify official details on the website. For meeting schedules (monthly September–May, excluding November and December), membership, or events, confirm on reddinggardenclub.org rather than relying on group posts.

Practical Notes

  • The website does not state group rules, moderation policies, or whether joining the Facebook Group requires club membership. Treat the group as open community conversation and confirm anything official through the website.
  • Guests are welcome at monthly meetings, so if your question is really about attending, the Meetings page is the more direct route.
  • For anything involving scholarships, volunteer forms, or youth programs, use the corresponding website pages — those processes aren't run through the Facebook Group.
