Sharing Gardening Experience With The National Home Gardening Club
Perhaps you stumbled across the National Home Gardening Club on Facebook and wonder what they’re all about. At www.gardeningclub.com, you can get a free, 30-day trial and issue of their gardening magazine. This is probably the best way to truly know if the site is for you. Members can elect to pay annual dues under $20 or purchase a self-renewing lifetime membership, which comes with special rewards. If your garden is your pride and joy, and you’d like to share your gardening experience with others, then you might enjoy what this national club has to offer.
Regular members of the National Home Gardening Club receive the Gardening How To Magazine, the ability to test new (free) gardening products, full access to the club website, a chance to win club giveaways, gardening tips from other members, professional answers to your gardening questions, free gifts, newsletters, books and videos. Life members of the gardening club receive all the same things as regular members, but with lifetime access. They’ll also get a Life Member ID card, key-ring, gardening mat, gloves and gifts valued at $165.
Premier Life Members receive all the benefits of regular life members, plus get a $45 gift certificate to www.createmycookbook.com, discounts from retailers, a free hotline with answers from a gardening expert, discounts on club seminars and garden events, free online vegetable/herb garden planning service for one year and travel discounts.
One of the perks for the National Home Gardening Club is “the ability to test new gardening tools and supplies — for free!” You may be wondering how often you’ll get products to try or what sort of items will arrive. According to members in the forums, most people test about once a year, although some years multiple products will come. One member says she received seeds, a pair of clogs, bottles of BBQ sauce, mulch, weed eater and a deck protector for the BBQ grill. Another member received cat grass seeds and a seed planter. A third member says she tested seeds, a seed-starting/mini-greenhouse kit, garden tools and a plant-marking stake. A fourth member got gloves, seeds, plant hangers and mosquito patches for testing.
Of course, what really makes a website, the National Home Gardening Club included, is the people. You’ll enjoy sharing photos and stories with other avid gardeners across the country, as well as right in your own backyard. You may find new friends to go on garden walks with or you may find seed trading partners to enhance your planting collection. You can discuss the latest garden tools with others who’ve used them before making a purchasing decision and share your advice with others as well. Members who enjoy a sense of community are generally very happy with their decision to join.
Every home owner would like their property to be attractive, and one of the ways to do that is to improve your landscape. For some great suggestions on lawns, gardens and even butterfly landscaping, click here to check out our landscaping ideas site.
