Dinners and Receptions

Sociability is the aim when members get together before the lectures or just for fun. Bring a friend or come alone. You're guaranteed to find plenty to talk about with just about everyone.   Back to top

Garden Tours and Travels   Upcoming tours and trip reports   Links to historic homes and gardens

We're proud to sponsor tours of memorable public and private gardens around the United States and abroad. Tours are impeccably organized for both enrichment and enjoyment by Ann Ahlbrand Tours.

Also, on special occasions, our members open their own gardens for viewing by other Hort Soc members and their guests.   Back to top

Penrod Day Plant Sales

We sell chrysanthemums and asters to Penrod visitors to raise funds for our library. It's a fun way to people-watch and enjoy the camaraderie of fellow members while manning the booth and helping patrons make their selections.   Back to top

Plant Auction/Garden Party Benefit

Every other year we put on a big bash with a silent auction and live auction to fill the Hort Soc coffers for a worthy project to enrich the gardens of the IMA. The event is open to members of the IMA Horticultural Society and their guests. Our next event is set for Sunday, June 1, 2008.  Back to top

All these activities offer many ways to get involved in interesting and useful endeavors.
