[[File:Garden Club.png|left]][[Sim]]s can become members of the '''Garden Club''' in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. This is achieved by having a Sim call a member on the [[phone]] and ask them to inspect the lot's garden. If it is well maintained, clean, filled with flourishing plants and well kept shrubs and hedges, they will grant the Sim membership in the Garden Club. Sims who are members of the Garden Club get a discount on seeds and fertilizer.
[[File:Garden Club.png|left]] '''Garden Club''' is a feature introduced in ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. [[Sim]]s can become members of the Garden Club by having a Sim call a member on the [[phone]] and ask them to inspect the lot's garden. If it is well maintained, clean, filled with flourishing plants and well kept shrubs and hedges, they will grant the Sim membership in the Garden Club. Also Garden Club members can be seen as walk-by(s). Sims who are members of the Garden Club get a discount on seeds and fertilizer. A gift that can be recieved from being a member of the Garden Club is the [[Wishing well]]. To get it, a Sim has to get a high score from the Garden Club. This can be achieved by maintaining a clean garden, filled with flourishing plants and well kept shrubs/hedges etc., and by placing lights, fountains, and sculptures. etc..

== Tips ==
Check the weather report or wait until [[summer]] prior to having a garden inspected as falling leaves, rain puddles and fires caused by lightning hurt the garden's score.

The Garden Club members for a neighborhood are created when the secret [[Weather (neighborhood)|"Weather"]] sub-neighborhood is added to the neighborhood. They are initially created as unemployed, but may be assigned random jobs as the neighborhood is played. A Garden Club member may have a random assortment of [[talent badge]]s.

*Issues which kept NPC Garden Club members from being treated as full [[Townie]]s were fixed in the [[The Sims 2: FreeTime/patch|''FreeTime'' patch]]. Players who do not have either ''[[FreeTime]]'' (with up-to-date patches), or ''[[Apartment Life]]'' can use [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=8971.0 this mod] from [[More Awesome Than You]].

*Neither of these addressed the issue of Garden Club members not receiving a "CAS history", which can eventually affect the refreshing of their wants and fears. A fix for this is available [http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=307471 at Mod The Sims]. It will affect non-playable Garden Club members that have already appeared in-game, but will "stomp" any memories they may have accumulated.

* If the household has a big garden and don't have much time to take care of it, it is recommended to hire a [[Gardener]], if the family has enough money. They will tend plants, water them, trim bushes, pull weeds, and rake leaves.
* It is not highly recommended for Garden Club members to have pets, because they tend to dig holes, and can destroy the look of the garden, and it's better to keep them away or busy with something that keeps them away from the garden. It's also better if [[stray]] pets are shoo-ed off the lot.
