Abstract:

Greenville has a quite long history of garden clubs and societies. The first can be traced back to the 1925 Greenville Garden Club, which was a member of the Garden Club of North Carolina Incorporated until it received autonomy in 1963. Other clubs in Greenville were founded without formal connection with the Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc. The Lakewood Pines Garden Club (1955), Brookgreen Garden Club (1958), and Dig and Delve Garden Club (circa 1959) all received charters. The Home Pride Garden Club, the Elmhurst Garden Club, and the Grassroots Garden Club were organized in 1965.
