Welcome to The Men's Garden Club of Santa Rosa A Club for Men and Women who Love to Garden
This Club was established in 1947 by a group of dedicated gardeners to advance the interest in gardening in Sonoma County. Since it's inception there have been several civic beautification projects completed by the club.
The Rose garden at Julliard Park was established by the club in 1962 and is still under club's care.
The Club has an exhibit in the Professional Hall of flowers at the Sonoma County Fair each year. About 90% of the plants in this exhibit are grown by the Club members.
The Club started a Giant Pumpkin and Sunflower Contest in 1965, for youth aged from 4 to 16 years, which has been held annually since it's inception. This contest has become a part of the Harvest Fair held each October at the Sonoma County Fair Grounds.
There are two Plant Sales, one in April and one in October held by the club. These Sales are held at Coddingtown Mall.
The money made through the Hall of Flowers exhibit and the plant sales is used to provide Scholarships to Sonoma County Youth in Horticulture and related Fields.
Although this was started as a Men's club, Women are welcome to join. The membership is currently 20% women. The club meets monthly on the second Tuesday at the Luther Burbank Art & Garden Center, 2050 Yulupa Ave, Santa Rosa, CA. starting at 7:00 p.m. Gardening related programs are held at each meeting. |
