Horticulture Study Group
The Horticulture Study Group, an informal group open to all members, meets on the second Tuesday of every month except July, August, and December. Those who are new gardeners and those who have a continuing interest in gardening can advance their knowledge in a small group setting with the opportunity to ask questions. Programs cover a wide range of topics which are determined by the group at a planning meeting. Members volunteer to study a topic and make a presentation. Workshops, video presentations, and tours of public and private gardens may also be a part of the year's programs.
In 2007, the Acton Garden Club received the GCFM 'Service Award for Special Achievement' for a container workshop that had been presented as part the current year programs for Horticulture Study Group.
Floral Design Study Group
The Floral Design Study Group, an informal group open to all members, meets three times a year. The design workshops are planned to interest participants who are novices as well as seasoned arrangers. The format is written as a flower show schedule and projects are selected to familiarize the designers with classes included in standard flower shows. Goals include learning the principles and elements of design as well as the mechanics useful in creating different types of arrangements. Top priority is to "Have Fun with Flowers!"
