THE FOX ISLAND SAND & SOIL GARDEN CLUB - Established in 1979
Fox Island’s Sand and Soil Garden Club Announces New Officers and Meetings Change
Fox Island Sand & Soil Garden Club members enjoy an early summer 2025
visit to a PNW area garden.
We welcome new members and invite you to attend our monthly meetings.
Meetings are held at the Chapel on Echo Bay on the second Thursday of the
month from September through June, at 10:00 am. Some of our speaker
presentations will be by ZOOM as well. Membership is open to non-Fox Island
residents also.
Our purpose is to stimulate and share the love and knowledge of gardening
among members, friends, and neighbors in the community of Fox Island.
Additionally, members volunteer for island gardening projects and raise
funds for college scholarships.
Scheduled guest speakers or educational plant profiles are featured at
meetings throughout the year and two planned field trips to local special
gardens augment our meeting schedule. Club members sponsor scheduled open
house garden parties in July and August where you can enjoy the beauty of
their home gardens in full bloom in a relaxed social setting.
Whether you are a novice gardener or have years of experience, we welcome
you. Our garden club members are diverse in knowledge, experience and ages.
Plants and gardening bring us all together where friendships form quickly
and spontaneous social events might have you heading for a local nursery to
peruse plant stock with a car full of plant-aholics, or a Japanese maple
tree pruning class.
We are a non-profit organization registered within the state of
Washington. Dues are currently $25 per member for one year. Includes two
family members.
Current Board Members for Fiscal 2025-2026:
President: Heidi Glastetter-Barker
Vice President: Jill Gallagher
Secretary: Elaine Perusse
Treasurer: Bonnie Gebhart
