Garden Club

Hayagriva Study Circle has conducted two highly useful and popular courses on gardening and horticulture. In deference to the wishes of the participants, the Hayagriva Garden Meet was formed in November 2003. This association of garden enthusiasts is currently the only garden club functioning in the city of Chennai. It attracted a membership of 32 members who decided to meet once a month to exchange notes on gardening, or attend a lecture/demonstration connected with gardening.

Currently in its second year, the members have associated themselves actively in conducting the meetings. The Garden Meet has conducted programs of a varied nature and organised two interesting site visits. The Garden Meet has a renowned horticulturist as its guide and adviser.
