About Us
Children are our future and developing an awareness of the importance of protecting our environment is important. Youth projects supported by the Garden Club are: Camp Wekiva ( a camp owned and operated by FFGC in Apopka for students in grades K-8), S.E.E.K. (Save the Earth’s Environment through Knowledge, a week-long conference for high school students), a horticulture scholarship at Pinellas Technical College, school gardens in many public schools, a Junior Gardener Summer Nature Camp, and a Saturday Junior Gardener program during the school year at the Pioneer Settlement Village.
The Garden Club is also interested in our older citizens and has a Garden Therapy program, visiting Nursing Homes, Assisted Living Facilities, and Rehab Centers and assisting the residents in planting potted plants to put in their rooms, conducting butterfly programs, and bringing a little cheer to the residents.
The Garden Club works with the City of St. Petersburg on the Green Thumb Festival in April at Walter Fuller Park. The Garden Club sponsors a Flower Show with floral designs, horticulture, educational exhibits and creative crafts that are judged by accredited judges. A Children’s Plant Fair is also a part of the Festival.
The Garden Club has formally dedicated a Blue Star Memorial. It is available for the members and the public to have a brick commemorating a loved one. Use the form below to order a brick.
