Wisdom Tree Forum™ OC

Welcome to Doers Club: Gardening, part of a brand-new series presented by Wisdom Tree Forum™.
Have you ever wanted to grow your own vegetables, herbs, flowers, or fruit? Maybe you've maintained a backyard garden, experimented with houseplants, dreamed of starting a vegetable patch, or simply enjoy spending time in nature. If you have photos of your garden or a favorite plant you'd like to share, we'd love to see them!
The goal of Doers Club is simple: to bring together people who are interested in exploring a skill, hobby, craft, or activity and learning from one another's experiences. You do not need to be an expert or even have started gardening before. Curiosity is enough. Come grow with us. Let's tend to our gardens, together.

🪏 Schedule
9:00 AM – Meet & Connect
We will meet at their cafe. We'll begin by getting to know one another and discussing topics such as:
🌱 What sparked your interest in gardening?
🌱 What are the joys and challenges of growing plants?
🌱 How can someone get started with little space or experience?
🌱 What local nurseries, community gardens, clubs, and resources are available?
🌱 What are some beginner friendly plants?
🌱 What mistakes have you made, and what have they taught you?
🌱 How has gardening changed the way you see nature, food, or your community?

10:00 AM – Farm Tour at The Ecology Center
At 10:00 AM, we'll join a guided farm tour organized by The Ecology Center, where we'll explore the farm, learn about regenerative agriculture and seasonal growing practices, and gain insight into how food is cultivated sustainably. Along the way, we'll have opportunities to ask questions, exchange ideas, and continue our conversations in an inspiring outdoor setting.
Whether you're a complete beginner, someone hoping to start a garden, or an experienced gardener willing to share ideas and resources, we'd love to have you join us.

Please note: This is not a gardening workshop. The focus is on connecting people who are interested in gardening, sharing experiences, discovering local resources, and learning together. The farm tour is included as an opportunity to observe, ask questions, and gain inspiration.

About Doers Club
Doers Club is a Wisdom Tree Forum™ series dedicated to exploring hobbies, skills, crafts, and creative pursuits through conversation and shared experiences. We gather at parks, breweries, restaurants, cafés, and other local venues to learn from one another and discover new interests.
Each event focuses on a single hobby or skill. One month it might be pottery, another month journaling, astronomy, meditation, woodworking, gardening, photography, or even building an AI agent. The goal is not mastery, but exploration, appreciation, and connection with others who share your curiosity.
Come discover new passions, exchange ideas, and enrich your social experience.
