Benefits of belonging to the Northwestern Chapter

The Quarterly Bulletin of the North American Rock Garden Society is published every 3 months. Articles are contributed by members around the world on a wide range of subjects involving alpines and other wild flowers. Many articles are illustrated with photos or pen and ink drawings to aid in identification. Included are ads offering a variety of services as well as sources for rare and unusual plants.

Other Services:  Once a year there is a Seed Exchange in time for early spring planting. NARGS offers all members a selection of seeds donated by members around the world.  There is a Slide Library from which individuals and garden groups may borrow slide shows and videotapes dealing with many aspects of alpines, wild flowers and companion plants.
