Your first visit

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

First step: Attend the board meeting on the second Tuesday at 7 pm. The site does not name the room, so call or email the association first to confirm where it meets..

You can just show up.

What to expect

The board meeting is a public monthly meeting on the second Tuesday at 7 pm. The site does not describe the agenda or how long the meeting runs. Garden days are a hands-on way to meet the association's volunteers, and the association co-hosts them with Farm Philly.

Tips for your first visit

  • Call 267-603-1318 or email info@washwestcivic.org to confirm the meeting room. The phone line is voicemail only.
  • The contact page lists an office at 1100 Walnut, Room B113, but the site does not say board meetings happen there.
  • Renters can join, and membership is handled through an online form. The site does not list dues.
  • Ask about the next Open Garden Day, which the association co-hosts with Farm Philly.

Newcomer welcome

Fine for newcomers, but you may need to speak up (3 out of 5). Why we say this: Board meetings are open to anyone and membership joins online, but the meeting room is not on the site, so the first visit takes one call or email..
