Hear from an expert speaker about a fruity topic. Meet
like-minded people who bring fresh fruit from their home gardens
for everyone to taste. We often share and trade plants, seeds,
and scions. Our meetings are a unique opportunity to find people
who live in a similar climate, to learn what varieties of what
types of fruit will grow well for you, and how to grow them.
Becoming a member offers member benefits, such as a exclusive
garden tours, fruit tastings, the CRFG Fruit Gardener magazine,
entry to the annual CRFG "Festival of Fruit" conference and
more. You're invited! We look forward to meeting you.
