Our Meetings
Our club meets at the Phinney Center (which is part of the Phinney Neighborhood Association) in northwest Seattle every third Sunday, unless otherwise noted. Visitors are welcome!
Meetings generally begin at 1:30 pm for set up and informal chatting followed by a business meeting and the featured program. We wrap up by 4:30 pm.
Previous topics have included Ethnobotany, Winterizing Succulents & Cacti in the PNW and the Consequences of Field Collecting (just to name a few).
