The Kirtland Garden Club (KGC) will be carpooling to the Japanese Gardens and Cultural Center of Saginaw on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.  Visitors will be given a guided tour of the picturesque gardens followed by an authentic Tea Ceremony in the Tea House which was built with materials imported directly from Japan.  Afterwards, participants will travel to a local area restaurant for lunch and our monthly Business Meeting.  Guests are welcome.  There is a $10 fee for participants who are non-members of the KGC which is payable on the day of the event.

Participants will meet in the parking lot of Kronner’s Pharmacy at the corner of M-18 and M-55 at 10:15 am, then carpool to the Japanese Cultural Center located at 527 Ezra Rust Dr., Saginaw, 48601.  To sign up, call Nancy at (989) 422-6017, leaving a message if necessary.  Meetings are open to the public.

The Kirtland Garden Club meets year-round to hear speakers on gardening topics and take planned trips.  Members participate in two annual fundraisers, a perennial plant sale and garden tour.  Proceeds from the sale and tour are returned to the community in the form of scholarships and donations to selected garden-or-wildlife-related projects or organizations.  Members learn from each other and vary in experience from beginners to Master Gardeners.  If interested in learning more about this year-round club and its activities, check out www.kirtlandgardenclub.org.
