Our History
The club achieved federated status in June 1966, after Florence Traver decided the Lake George Community needed an organization to promote gardening & community service.
Over the years, the club has grown and now has a total of 65 active, 1 associate and 9 honorary members from many communities - Glens Falls, Queensbury, Lake George, Warrensburg, and as far away as Elizabethtown, Minerva, Mechanicville, and more.
Our Purpose
To encourage interest in all phases
of home gardening and its allied arts,
to promote civic beauty and
the conservation of natural resources.
