National Garden Club National home gardening club life membership

Name: Wanda Kendall
Address: 12 1st Street
Inman, SC [protected]
Club Membership # [protected] 9
I am home due to the virus and reading magazines. Realized I had no new Gardening magazines. With my membership, I was to get the magazine free for life. I had so many Birds and Blooms I didn't realize it. What happened? Did the Club go under, get new management, realize the cost of magazines for life was too much and reneged on the deal, CEO run off with profits? What! Please advise what happens now! I saw many complaints on the internet, that you were not honoring lifetime memberships! Did you buy them? I see the name has changed some and the emblem has too. I would greatly appreciate a response. I worked 15 years in Customer Service for a National Tool Company and I serviced their school and government accounts. I understand things change. But don't just leave us out to dry!
Thank you for your time.
Mrs. Wanda A Kendall (age 72)

National Garden Club contact information

I signed up as a lifetime member in 2009 and for awhile you sent me magazines and sales opportunity, but I let you skip any contact with me. Now, when I want to resume contact, I cannot find a way into your customer service.

The same happened to me, as soon as I became and paid for lifetime membership, everything stopped. No more anything! I wish I never did this and have no one to contact either.

I became a charter member in April 1999. I became a life member shortly thereafter. Sadly it appears that, although we who became life members did so with honest intentions, the folks at the National Home Gardening Club did not share our goals. Were we all scammed?

Just called the NATIONAL GARDEN CLUB in St. Louis to learn that the
NATIONAL HOME GARDENING CLUB in Minnesota is out of business.

Woe to us who paid a handsome fee - some of us charter members - to
be swindled by NHGC. So much for lifetime memberships!

I, like many of the complaints I’ve seen, purchased a lifetime membership in the National Home Gardening Club. I’ve received nothing from them in years and recently tried to access their website to find it no longer exist. I never received communications from them stating they were dissolving the club. Was my $125 membership in vain and do I have any recourse?

National Garden Club national home gardening club lifetime membership

National home gardening club lifetime membership since 1997. I received magazines and test products for quite some time but then all the sudden I received nothing. I paid $300 for a lifetime membership and I am still very much alive and this is not being honored. I feel if they are not going to honor this they should have to refund my $300. I currently still have my lifetime membership card that was mailed to me by this company.

I paid the 300.00 too, received a couple of things then nothing. I have been a member since 2008 and have not received anything since the first year. This is a rip off, I dont even get a magazine or anything. I still have my lifetime membership card also. What can I do to get this made right?

My Mom and I joined the National Home Gardening Club many years ago. We received their magazine for years and my Mom loved it. I used to send in pictures every year for their contest and even saw some of my photos in their magazine. Then suddenly the magazines stopped and they said I had to get it on-line. That worked for a little while and then I could no longer log in and everything stopped. My membership card says I am a premier life member. Whoopee - it doesn't help if it doesn't exist anymore. I was just trying to find IF it still exists when I came across this complaint site and saw you made a recent complaint. I was wondering if you have any idea if it still exists? I found something on Pinterest when I Googled National Home Gardening Club https://www.pinterest.com/NHGC/_created/

that you may want to check out. I don't know if it is the same club or not. Good luck locating the club.

I have been a national home gardening club life time member since thw 1990's. I loved the magazine, and the test items. In still using my multi tool trimmers and loved the cucumber seeds they sent out, ( im still saving seeds) when I paid for the life time member ship at 20 years old i thought it was a great investment. Im now 50 and have not heard from them in years. I feel I should get my money back.

National Garden Club my lifetime membership

I had sent in two money orders to the address I think up north towards the payment of the life time membership. I think that I have $125.00 left to pay. The two money orders were sent back to me saying that the address up north was not working or that there was no such address. Could I have the new address to finish paying for the membership.

National Garden Club magazine and test products

I paid for a "Lifetime" membership several years ago.
I have not received a membership, products to test or any communication for some time. I was just checking on-line and can't find a phone number or other way to communicate with them.
All I can find is complaints from other members who have not heard anything.
There should have been some kind of communication from the company.
Now, we should receive a refund of some of our money.

Thanks for your help.

I too, like I see many in the same boat; have a lifetime membership I paid for and can not get in touch with anyone. How can a company offer lifetime memberships and then shut down. Shouldn't there be some kind of restitution? I moved and also remarried and I forgot to change my address but my mail has always be forwarded. My membership # [protected] Donna Bryson Gurtner
