Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club
Gardening for Fun and Purpose
Who We Are
Livermore-Amador Valley Garden Club (LAVGC) is a dedicated non-profit educational organization affiliated with California Garden Clubs, Inc. We serve the vibrant Tri-Valley Area, including Dublin, Livermore, Pleasanton, San Ramon, and Sunol.
We believe in gardening for fun and purpose while working together to share knowledge and promote environmental responsibility. We do this by encouraging interest in all phases of home gardening and by promoting better horticultural practices, civic beauty, and conservation of natural resources.
Club meetings are the second Thursday of the month, September through June, with speakers covering a range of topics. Visitors are welcome to attend one Club meeting before joining. Special interest groups and community service work parties meet regularly throughout the year.
