  • Back in 1963, a small group living on Gary Road near Potomac Village decided to form a club dedicated to their gardening passion. 

  • By 2010, they grew from a social group exchanging plants and landscap­ing ideas to one of the most active garden clubs in Montgomery County.

  • Members have included flower show judges, members of the Washington Area Landscaping Design Council, the Maryland Native Plant Society, the Montgomery County Master Gardeners, the Gardening Consultants Council, the President of the Azalea Society, a chairperson for the National Capital Area Garden Clubs, and the chair of the National Garden Club Convention in 2011 (held in the DC area).
