We’ve noticed a consistent increase in people interested in joining Rock Spring Garden Club. And it’s kind of exciting, like watching your garden grow.
Rock Spring Garden club is affiliated with National Garden Clubs, Inc., a not-for-profit 501(c) educational organization headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri, that is the largest gardening organization in the world.
Under NGC, we are a member of two state organizations: 1) National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc., part of the Central Atlantic Region; and the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, part of the South Atlantic Region. Within National Capital Area Garden Clubs, we belong to District III, that includes thirteen garden clubs in Northern Virginia. Within Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, we are part of the Piedmont District that includes 59 clubs and 2000+ members.
Our mission and objectives are to:
- Stimulate the study of the art of gardening.
- Further an interest in horticulture and artistic arrangement of plant materials.
- Conserve and protect our natural resources and support good conservation practices.
- Serve our community by participating in garden therapy, youth gardening activities, civic beautification, horticulture and floral design education, and community outreach.
Continuing education in horticulture, environment, floral design and landscape design is available to members through our national and state organizations.
