I am happy to help with a little "cross-pollination" among garden clubs!
Here is the location for the NARGS web page:
http://www.mobot.org/NARGS/
Membership includes a subscription to the Rock Garden Quarterly, a huge seed
exchange, a member's bookstore and other goodies. There are many local
Chapters and not all of them have posted info on the web page yet.
Dues are $25.00 per year

The club emphasizes rock and alpine plants, but also covers any low-growing
plants suitable to rock gardens. There is strong interest among many
members in woodland plants and wild flowers as well, with most seeking a
diversity of landscapes.
Good growing, whatever you grow..Louise
