Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Come to the Saturday Weekend Gardening Club at 10 am. The group's pages do not give the place or cost, so call 215-427-0350 first to confirm..

You can just show up.

What to expect

The Saturday gardening club runs 10 am to noon for adults who want to build gardening skills and share what they know. Friday walk-in hours run 2 to 4 pm, and you can drop by without an appointment. Neither listing gives the place or cost, so ask first.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call 215-427-0350 or email info@nkcdc.org to confirm the place for the gardening club.
  • Text the word NKCDC to 833-901-2072 to get event alerts.
  • Wear clothes you can get dirty if you plan to garden.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Friday hours are a walk-in space, and the group lists a phone, email and text line. The gardening club is for adults building skills, but its listing gives no sign-up step..
