Membership Application

We invite you to become a member of the Spartanburg Men's Garden Club. We look for leaders, self-starters, and people who know how to get things accomplished. That said, we are glad to have your help if you only have a few hours to volunteer. Download the membership application. Please fill it out completely and mail it and your check to the post office box indicated on the form. We are looking forward to seeing you at our meetings!

Membership Classifications

The Club is a member-run organization. There are four classes of membership.

Active Membership

Active members are men and women interested in gardening who have paid annual dues. The dues period runs from September 1 through August 31. The membership list is printed in the January newsletter and lists members who have paid their dues between September 1 and December 31. SMGC disaffiliated from The Gardeners of America / Men's Garden Clubs of America (TGOA/MGCA) in May 2009. A member may choose to belong to this national organization of garden clubs as a member-at-large.

  • Single memberships are available for individuals at $20.
  • Family memberships are available for two people at one address at $28.

Honorary Membership

This membership may be extended to a person who is not an active member of the Club, but who has performed distinguished service for the benefit of the Club.

Life Membership

Although SMGC is no longer affiliated with TGOA/MGCA, individual members may elect to join it. Life membership is one option. Life membership is extended to an individual by TGOA-MGCA upon payment of $200 to The Gardeners of America, Inc. A Life member is therefore exempt from TGOA-MGCA dues for life, but pays local dues annually as set by the Club.

Corporate Membership

Upon payment of dues of $100, corporate enterprises become Corporate Members. The designated representative of the corporation is the active member.
