Welcome to Chippewa Garden Club

“Mindful Gardening” will guide our 2026 programs, and we invite you to join us as we explore the possibilities. “Mindful Gardening” is the practice of tending to plants and interacting with nature in an intentional way, promoting emotional grounding and mental clarity. It is about being in the moment, observing the natural world and connecting with the earth, which may lead to peacefulness, joy, and restoration. 

This year, our Programs Committee has scheduled educational events such as how to use the harvests of our gardens with topics such as how to forage, how to experience the Metroparks trails, “Make it and Take it” programs to support fundraising, and even a design practice program.  We also have many community projects planned to educate about gardening and nature.

We invite you to join us and enjoy the fellowship of others who share and interest in gardening. You will learn by doing and get hands-on experience and encouragement from members.

If you’re interested in joining, you can find our Membership Brochure and Application here. All are always welcome! We meet at the Brecksville Human Services Center, Gathering Room, 2 Community Drive, Brecksville.

We meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at the Brecksville Human Services Gathering Room, at 2 Community Dr., Brecksville, Ohio 44141.  6:00 pm Social and 6:30 pm Program. Check out our upcoming calendar here.

Several issues of the Chippewa Garden Club newsletter are available for download from the Latest News page.
