​

For some it means the actual gardening, hands in the soil, body in the sun and vision of color and fragrance and form.

To some it means the use of flowers as a medium of artistic expression.

To some it means an opportunity to serve their community by turning the ugly places in to beauty spots.

To a few, it means the challenge of leadership and personal ability in group work.

To a very few, it is meaningless, a name on the membership list and a sometime attendance.

But to many it means making friends, meeting with old and mingling with the new.

Garden Club work is as complex as the unfolding of a rose and as simple as the face of a daisy.

It is educational. It is scientific. It is a way of life.
