Roswell Garden Club activities support the mission of The Garden Club of Georgia and the National Garden Clubs – to provide education, resources, and national networking opportunities for its members to promote the love of gardening, floral design, and civic and environmental responsibility.

Our projects are based on our mission statement and on projects and programs of The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. and National Garden Clubs. The projects focus on beautifying Roswell, promoting the love of gardening, and educating our members and the community. 

We fund our projects with grants, member donations, community donations and our DIRT FUNDRAISER. RGC receives proceeds from specific purchases of dirt. Click here to read more or purchase dirt.

Our 2022-2023 focus projects reflect our ever-evolving community. We’ve developed adaptive programs and activities with the Roswell ARC and the Roswell Recreation & Parks department that align with Garden Club of Georgia’s Garden Therapy programs. Many of these activities use our themed raised-bed gardens. The beds are outdoors, so they are ideal for social-distanced horticulture talks which can be filmed and added to our educational blog. We decorate Roswell’s Adult Recreation Center (ARC) for the holidays and we decorate tables for several community holiday luncheons. We formed a new partnership with the Roswell Historical Society and are active in the upkeep of the Old Roswell Cemetery, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. This focus project is aligned with the Garden Club of Georgia’s historic land preservation program.

Our on-line educational resources, which provide interaction with people of all ages from various locations around the country, include an education page on our site. The page is filled with links to resources from National Garden Clubs, The Garden Club of Georgia, and other affiliated organizations. The education page also has a search bar for our blog and a comprehensive list of great non-fiction and fiction.

Our educational & inspirational blog is rapidly evolving and growing. The blog, which is searchable, has a variety of educational posts ranging from horticulture to the environment and floral design to do-it-yourself projects. During Garden Week in Georgia, a project of The Garden Club of Georgia, and National Garden Week, a project of National Garden Clubs and The Garden Club of Georgia, we post relevant new blog entries at 10 pm each weekday. The posts are designed to intrigue, give some easy ways to get into gardening, and inspire.

While visiting our blog, be sure and check out the entries from three years of local high school students’ environmental blog posts. In addition to being in our blog, these posts are highlighted on their own page High-School Environmental Blog Posts.

On May 30, 2022, Memorial Day, we dedicated our newly installed Blue Star and Gold Star Memorial Markers during the Roswell Remembers ceremony. The Blue Star and Gold Star Memorials are a National Garden Clubs program and a Garden Club of Georgia program.

From floral design to farmers market tables; decorating at the ARC to youth-centered activities at the Adaptive Programs Expo; 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 community 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.
