    Watering Schedule at the bottom of this page


    One of the most important jobs in our club is tedning the gardens and beds planted by Gateway Garden Club
    Each member has an equal responsibility by watering all projects during their assigned week(s). 
    Mark your calendars for your scheduled week(s), and please read the watering responsibilities below. 
    If there are any questions, contact the current Club President.
