    • Access to the free club library of gardening books, magazines, and videos.
    • The colourful and informative monthly MARS newsletter.
    • Social activities:  MARS holds several members-only potluck dinners throughout the year.
    • Bus tours to unique gardens and other places of interest (there is an additional cost for transportation, meals, and accommodations).
    • Advice from rhododendron experts familiar with the local growing conditions.
    • A chance to connect with enthusiastic gardeners of all ages!

Membership is $30.00 per year for up to 2 people who share the same address, and includes membership in both MARS and the ARS.  Dues must be paid by December 1 for the coming calendar year.  You can join by mail, in person, or by submitting the online form below.

A point of interest:  MARS does not keep any membership fees for the local club.  All membership fees go to the ARS, and all our activities and expenditures are supported by the fund-raising and volunteer efforts of our members.

We hope you’ll join us!  (If you’re already a MARS member, you can use the links below to renew your membership, too. Welcome back!)
