Looking at the Takoma Horticultural Club

In the July edition of The Takoma Park Newsletter, I have a piece on the Takoma Horticultural Club.

Here’s the last paragraph:

Interestingly, the club seems to have experienced demographic changes that are consonant with broader changes within the Takoma Park community. When Henderson joined the club seven years ago, the group was mostly comprised of older women. “There have also been a lot of younger families moving to Takoma, so there are many more members in their 30s and 40s, who are joining the club,” she said. She also mentioned that over the past five years there’s been a resurgence of people interested in house plants. Membership is growing; there’s actually been an uptick in membership since the pandemic began.
