River Park Garden Club

General Meetings

River Park Garden Club's general meetings typically consist of a potluck dinner, however because of concerns about covid 19, we ask that you bring your own dinner until further notice. Refreshments and some lite dessert items will still be provided. We will have a 30 minute presentation from local master gardeners and other garden enthusiasts on various gardening topics. A raffle is also included in the program.

We have four general meetings throughout our season from September to June and a catered holiday celebration in December (see schedule below). We meet at 6:30 p.m. at the Shepard Garden & Arts Center, 3330 McKinley Blvd., Sacramento, on the dates listed below (unless noted otherwise).
