Highlights
Roswell Garden Club
Roswell Garden Club is an award-winning organization that continues to seek ways to beautify the community and conserve its natural splendor.
Founded and federated in 1951, the club withstands the test of time. We are proud to be part of an organization that boasts 5,000 member clubs in the nation.
Club members pursue individual interests and also work to meet annual club goals that involve maintenance and preservation of historical properties, memorial markers, holiday decorating, garden therapy, youth programs, scholarships and more.
The world is changing rapidly, but the need to connect and “give back” is still paramount to personal happiness and satisfaction. Our club welcomes guests. You do not need to live in Roswell to join us. We are open to all ages and skill levels. Join us, and you will make a positive impact on your life and your community.

Club Projects & BLOG
Roswell Garden Club focuses on beautifying Roswell, conserving landscaping at many of Roswell’s historic sites, and educating our members and the community.
Our 2020-2021 focus projects range from dedicating our newly installed Blue Star and Gold Star Families Memorial Markers, planting peach trees in the orchard at Barrington Hall, holding our high-school environmental blog entry competition, and expanding our educational & inspirational blog. Be sure and check out the top four entries from the 2019 high-school Environmental Blog Competition.
During Garden Week in Georgia and National Garden Week, we post relevant new blog entries at 10 pm each day. The posts are designed to intrigue you, give you some easy ways to getting into gardening, and inspire you. You can see last year’s entries on our blog page along with all of our other entries. Happy Gardening from Roswell Garden Club!
From floral design to azalea giveaways; decorating City Hall to youth-centered activities such as Fall Farm Days; gardening at civic locations to field trips to experience the beauty of nature; RGC is on the go making a difference in the community.
RGC’s collaborative relationship with the Roswell Recreation & Parks department, Roswell Adult Recreation Center, Roswell Convention & Visitors Bureau, and Roswell’s historic homes—Archibald Smith, Barrington Hall, and Mimosa Hall—is strong.
Our members enjoy making Roswell a beautiful place and are proud of our civic projects. We strive to live our motto—Roswell, ours to beautify and conserve.
National Garden Week: A Look at Some of our Favorite Gardens by RGC Members
We are closing out our National Garden Week posts with a look at favorite gardens members have visited, pictures from Lisa’s recent visit to Gibbs Garden, and pics from a few members’ gardens–the feature image for this post is from Mary Ann Booth Cabot’s backyard. We hope you are as inspired by these gardens as we are. Thanks for celebrating National Garden Week with us.
Debbie V suggests we add visiting these gardens on our bucket lists:
