Click, Post, and Grow

Click, Post, and Grow is a friendly social media guide designed especially for members of The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. Its purpose is simply to help clubs, districts, councils, and federations use Facebook, Instagram, and other digital tools to inform, engage,and delight members. By sharing our stories, we also reach people who may not yet know what a garden club looks like.

Because today’s garden club has quite a story to tell.

We plant gardens, teach children, support conservation, preserve history, create beautiful spaces, serve our communities, make friendships, and have a lot of fun along the way.

Members enjoy seeing familiar faces, discovering what neighboring clubs are doing, celebrating awards, learning about upcoming events, and sharing club accomplishments.

Do I have to become a social media expert now?

Absolutely not. It is completely voluntary. No club is expected to use every platform or every tool. One club may decide that Facebook is enough. Another may enjoy Instagram. Some may simply want to learn how to improve the page they already have.

The guide breaks everything into small, manageable pieces.

Its modules are:

We even left space at the end for your own notes and ideas.

In other words, start where you are. Learn what is useful. Ignore what is not.

What does “Curate Your Community” mean?

This may be one of the most important ideas in the entire guide. The goal of social media is NOT to collect the largest number of followers, likes, or views. To curate your community means to be thoughtful about whom you follow, what you share, how you participate, and the kind of online presence you create. 

Over time, your club’s social media presence can become something more valuable than a bulletin board. It can become a welcoming front door, and younger generations are already used to looking for that door online. Sometimes the generation gap is simply the distance between “I’ll call her” and “I already saw it on Instagram.”

Where do I get it, and what is FOMO?

Here comes the best part. No ticket. No subscription. No shipping and handling. If you have a fear of missing out because you did not receive Click, Post, and Grow at your district meeting, the guide is available for download at this link.
