With 118 local chapters across the country, there is a Greenfield community near you — running garden visits, plant swaps, talks, and volunteer days throughout the year.
What a chapter does
Chapters are the Association at its most local and most human. Each is run by volunteers and shapes itself around its members: some focus on a community garden or shared plot, others on monthly talks, garden visits, or simply a friendly group who share cuttings and know-how. Whatever your level, a chapter is the fastest way to learn, to find plants, and to meet other growers near you.
Joining a chapter
Membership of the Association includes your local chapter at no extra cost. Once you have joined, we will point you to the nearest group and its next meeting — you will usually be made very welcome at your first visit, no experience required.
Starting one
No chapter near you? Start one. If you can gather a few willing neighbors, we provide the rest: practical guidance, a small set-up grant, public-liability cover, and the support of a national network. Many of our most thriving chapters — like the one profiled in our Riverside story — began with exactly one person who decided things could be better.
