We are proudly one of the twelve original or Founder Clubs of The Garden Club of America.

Vision Statement

The vision of The Gardeners Garden Club is to be an organization that nurtures a dynamic and diverse group of members dedicated to expanding personal and community relationships rooted in a common love of the natural world.

Mission Statement

The Gardeners strive to increase enthusiasm for horticulture, floral design, and photography while emphasizing conservation. We seek to build friendships and support for each other and to develop long-term relationships with diverse community groups to improve the natural world.

Who We Are

We are a dedicated group of members who enthusiastically share with others our knowledge of all aspects of gardening–flower arranging, conservation, horticulture and photography. We now have 8 certified judges in our club who support present and new members in their development journey. Our members have not only won individual awards in Zone, PHS and other flower shows, but we are the recipients of the coveted Margaret Buckley Zantzinger Award for the club accumulating the most combined horticultural and floral design points in the PHS Flower Show. We hold two to three in-house shows a year, often preparing members for entry into the larger PHS flower show.

What We Do

Our members can be found working with the Pennsylvania Horticulture Society flower show not only in small volunteer assignments, but also taking on larger assignments such as working on the flower show organizational components. We lobby Washington through our delegates on conservation topics. We raise money for the PHS scholarship fund. In 2012 we joined other regional garden clubs in a volunteer and financial pledge to help develop the area surrounding Concourse Lake as part of a Centennial District master plan. This was part of a four-year commitment to produce a horticultural gift to the City of Philadelphia in West Philadelphia to honor the hundredth anniversary of the Garden Club of America. We also have an ongoing commitment to work on a number of smaller gardens and farms that are local to the suburbs and to the City of Philadelphia.
