Winter Park Garden Club

According to the Winter Park Garden Club web site, the club “founded in 1922 to promote gardening and to beautify the City of Winter Park, was one of the four charter members of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs.”

“The garden club first started work in Mead Garden in 1938, and in 1956 the City gave the club use of a lodge in the garden. Plans for a garden center were approved for the site in 1968. The members raised funds for the Center and in 1973 the Garden Center was dedicated.”
