Welcome to Garden Chat Group (GCG)
Formed in Spring 2021
Purpose & Operations
The purpose of the Garden Chat Group (GCG) is to provide an informal forum for CAAR members who are interested in house plants (in or outdoors) to discuss/exchange house plants and planting tips.
GCG, when situation permits, will also organize tours to members’ home gardens and public gardens.
The Group currently uses WeChat as a communication tool.
Shek Yu currently, by default, assumes the title of GCG coordinator, which should be rotated to other group members as the group further formalizes.
GCG abides by the rules and regulations of CAAR & GRF.
