Abstract:

There are a large number of avocational garden groups across North Carolina. The stereotype of silver-haired ladies and luncheons is far from the truth—these groups are open to Carolinians of all ages and experience levels. Some of these societies emphasize volunteer work by supplementing food banks or beautifying public spaces. Others are plant specific and emphasize growing certain species. Several societies are detailed in the article which includes further contact information for interested readers.

Abstract:

The Garden Club of North Carolina organized on November 6, 1925, when garden clubs in Reidsville, High Point, Winston-Salem, Raleigh, and Asheville came together to seek to broaden members' interest and knowledge in gardening. Club activities soon expanded statewide, such as placement of twenty-nine Blue Star Markers on state highways between 1949 and 1950 and creation of three memorial gardens--the Elizabethan Gardens (Manteo), Martha Franck Fragrance Garden (Raleigh), and the Daniel Boone Native Gardens (Boone).

Abstract:

The Washington Garden Club meets once a month to share their gardening experiences and ideas with one another. Organized by women in 1941, it became a federated club, National Garden Club, and the Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc., and is now a very strong and active organization. Each May, they host a plant sale at the North Carolina Estuarium, with proceeds supporting the club’s gardens at the Market and Gladden street intersection.
