Gardeners Out East 2021 - 2022 Program Calendar
We generally meet the second Monday of the month, 1:00 to 3:00 pm, from September to May.
We have planned many field trips because that’s what was requested during the survey at the 2021 GOE season finale. As herd immunity from COVID-19 is a moving target, we will follow CDC guidelines which may necessitate changes to indoor events on the schedule below.
