Each meeting begins with announcements, followed by a horticultural question and answer segment, a featured lecture or demonstration, and concludes with a raffle of donated plants and garden items.

    On site parking is available and the building is a short walk from the Davis Square Redline T station. The club meets on the wheelchair accessible second floor. All Somerville Garden Club meetings are free and the public is invited to attend.
