Much of our Club’s activities occur behind the scenes, via committee. Some of our committees include: Awards ~ Birds & Wildflowers ~ Conservation ~ Garden Therapy ~Youth Activities ~ Horticulture ~ Garden Club Park (located near the Augusta Civic Center)
It takes all the members to make our club recognizable in the community, as well as encourage new personal relationships and increase education & awareness of our environment.
We are a non profit organization and fundraising proceeds benefit our scholarship fund, our community park improvements and our many civic activities. Our activities may include: Garden Tours ~ Flower Shows ~ Community Events ~ Perennial & Plant sale held each spring ~ Blaine House Coffee & Tea ~ Maintenance of the Garden Club Park, opened to the public
