Groves & Protogroves

What is a grove?

Groves are local communities of ADF Druids. For many ADF members, the grove is the focal point of spiritual activity and High Day celebrations. Each grove is made up of at least 3 ADF members, though some groves have many more.

    What is a protogrove?

    Many groves start out as protogroves. Think of a protogrove as the seed for a grove: to be considered active, a grove must include three ADF members. An active protogrove, on the other hand, requires only one ADF member.
