Our Club Activities
WELCOME!
Our home is the beautiful and historic Village of Pinehurst, located in the Sandhills of North Carolina. Known as the home of American golf and the longleaf pine ecosystem, its temperate climate makes gardening a popular activity.
Beautifying Our Community

Beautifying Our Gardens
Members take pride in beautifying their gardens. Hanging baskets make a striking addition to any garden .
Supporting Fellow Gardeners
We fund a full scholarship for a horticultural student at Sandhills Community College. This year we funded two.
Summer in the Garden
In early summer flowers provide most of the nourishment that hummingbirds need so they don’t visit feeders with any regularity. They feed their nestlings small insects. In July, after the nestlings fledge, they start frequenting feeders throughout the day to prepare for the long migration that begins in early fall. You can easily make a sugar solution by mixing 1/4 cup sugar with 1 cup water. Make sure you change the solution often to prevent contamination.

Problem of the Month
Are Squirrels digging in your flower pots? They can be pesky little critters when they dig in your flower pots to bury their winter food supply. They kick out soil and uproot plants, making a mess of carefully tended pots. They can also make a mess digging in flower beds because they find lose soil inviting. You can find squirrel repelent in both spray and granular form at garden supply centers. Another solution is to place stones in the pots or in lose soil around plants as a deterent.

The garden features over 225 species of perennials, trees, shrubs, vines, and grasses, and 85% of them are native to North Carolina. This is a great opportunity to visit the popular gathering spot for honey bees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects in addition to their human admirers!
The tours typically last about an hour and a half depending on group size and interest.
