Typically, our club meets at the Phinney Neighborhood Center every third Sunday; unless otherwise noted.

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).
