Mill Creek is home to several social/philanthropic groups. One of these is the Mill Creek Garden Club.  They meet at the Mill Creek Country Club for a program and lunch at 11:30 AM on the 2nd Wednesday of the month- September through May. The group collects annual membership dues of $25. In addition to the dues, the cost of lunch of $23 for members and $25 for guests. The programs cover a wide variety of gardening and horticultural topics.

In addition to the luncheon meetings the group plants and maintains flowers in several public sites within the city limits, and recently provided holiday arrangements for the dining tables at Emeritus Senior Living in Mill Creek. There are tours to places of interest and other activities planned throughout the year.
