Advice from a Gardener
 
"Cultivate" lasting friendships
Sow "seed"s of kindness
Listen to "sage" advice
Don't let the little things "bug" you
Be outstanding in your "field"
Take "thyme" for youself!
No "vining"!!
What’s a Garden Club anyway??

This question usually evokes visions of “ladies wearing hats, sipping tea in their gardens, admiring their flowers” This is partly true, but did you know that the Ladies Garden Club of Athens, Georgia in 1891 founded the first club and 38 years later to become a National Organization, known as National Garden Clubs or “NGC”. It spans the United States, District of Columbia with international affiliates of Mexico and South America. NGC boasts over 7,000 garden clubs with membership over 221,000, making it the largest volunteer organization in the world! In 1925 Florida joined NGC and is known as Florida Federation of Garden Clubs or “FFGC”. Today its membership is over 17,000 members. The state is divided into twelve districts, with Broward County being District XI. Broward County is the smallest with 370 members and 6 clubs, 8 circles. The clubs are located in Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Lighthouse Point, Pompano Beach, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Fort Lauderdale (includes 8 circles) and Hibiscus (Plantation).

If you love gardening, flowering plants/bushes/trees, birds, herbs, butterflies, water gardens, floral design, garden clubs have it. Want to learn more about protecting our environment and the conservation of our natural resources and our water, garden clubs have it. Want to get involved in community projects, garden clubs have it “ALL”.

So, if you want to meet new friends and hear interesting programs, attend a garden clubs meeting.
