Welcome to the Garden Guild. I am Biffy, your guildmaster. We are the nature lovers of Ailurophilia. We love flowers, we love to garden and we love to watch our handiwork spring forth from the soil to bring us beauty. This guild will be devoted to flowers of every variety. We love getting our paws dirty in the rich soil, planting the seeds that will eventually reach out to seek the warm rays of the sun or the thirst-quenching droplets of rain. To join the Garden Guild, fill out the form at The Ailurophilia Castle. We will have many activities as time goes by and points will be awarded for all activities. We will learn many new things about flowers and gardening. Take a Membership Badge from Banners by Members to place on your Ailurophilia Page or you homepage to show your membership in the Garden Guild.
