The Coral Gables Garden Club raises funds to give back to the City of Coral Gables, its residents, and schools and has done many beautification projects during the past 98 years.
The mission of the Garden Club is dedicated to educating its members, local youth, and the public in gardening, horticulture, environmental issues, community beautification, and the art of floral design.
The club’s third annual nature photography contest currently is underway with submissions being accepted until May 5. Cash prizes will be awarded for the top 25 images. The Marlene Kerdyk Award is given to the overall best image and is worth $1,000.
The Garden Club is collaborating with the Coral Gables Museum to have an exhibition at the museum with the top 25 images and the museum’s top 25 photos from their contest, “Capture Coral Gables,” from Aug. 10 through Oct. 1.
You can visit the club’s website and check out the details at www.coralgablesgardenclub.org.
True to its mission, which is to educate members and the residents of Coral Gables about horticulture and flower design, the club is planning a National Garden Club small standard flower show called “The City Beautiful” on Apr. 24, from 1 to 3 p.m., at the Coral Gables United Church of Christ, located at 3010 Desoto Blvd., in the fellowship hall. This event is open free to the public.
See what the Garden Club members are growing in their gardens; you will be delighted by the creative floral designs that will be judged by National Garden Club and Florida Federated Garden Club judges. Learn about the club’s conservation projects and the advantages of joining a garden club.
