Weedwhacker said:I agree with Elaine -- although I can see why a person would like to have a local club as well. You might consider contacting you County Extension Service -- they may have some ideas for you.

but in the meantime... you have us!! Big Grin


>> You might consider contacting you County Extension Service

They usually have websites that are well-worth-while browsing.

Hmmm, "Worcester, MA" ... you're near Shrewsbury! I went to school with someone from there ... Worcester County.

How about their "News and Events" tab? You could go to some meeting that seemed relevant, and announce that you were forming such a club or informal group. Or they might post a notice of your club.

Here's the section for home gardeners:

Maybe they would let you put in a notice about the first club meeting.
Maybe they would let you email to a mailing list they have.
