National Garden Week was founded by National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC) is a not-for-profit educational organization comprised of 50 state garden clubs and the District of Columbia with a total of approximately 165,000 members. Additionally, NGC has 60 national affiliated organizations within the United States and nearly 330 international affiliated organizations with locations in Canada, Mexico, South America, Bermuda, South Africa, Australia and Japan.
The history of National Garden Clubs, Inc. dates back to January 1891, founded by the Ladies Garden Club of Athens, Georgia. On May 1, 1929, 13 federated states became charter members in Washington, D.C. Then, in 1935, the National Garden Clubs established a headquarters at Rockefeller Center in New York City which was later moved to its permanent building in St. Louis on May 10, 1958, adjacent to the Missouri Botanical Gardens.
Meadow View Growers will be celebrating the week by giving away great prizes. Share your garden on social media and tag Meadow View Growers #MyMVGGarden to be entered to win free plants and prizes.
- Plan an educational program and/or workshop at your local library, public garden or garden center.
- Sponsor a hands-on “How Do You Select Flowers/Shrubs for Your Garden” workshop at an area nursery.
- Plan a garden tour. This is a great time to share your knowledge of growing while sharing ideas.
- Beautify a manageable blighted area or enhance an existing garden. This would be a good opportunity to work with other groups.
- Plan an activity with a youth group or school students.
- Place a plant or flower arrangement at public facilities, along with one of the beautiful National Garden Week posters.
