This is how it all started…

Originally started in 1941 as The First Men’s Garden Club of Dallas and affiliated with the The Men’s Garden Clubs of America, we incorporated in 1971 and expanded the membership to include women in 2014. In 2023 we incorporated again as The Garden Club of Dallas now affiliated with The Gardeners of America.

The Club is composed of members with a wide range of horticultural interests and expertise. Programs are varied throughout the year in an attempt to be of either specific or general interest to all members. Although special programs (outside speakers) are regularly presented, some of the principle benefits of the monthly meeting is the camaraderie, sharing of information and experiences between members.

A word from our President

Anna Williams

Spring is here!
Normally, during the cold winter months, I am very much looking forward to March. March is the beginning of Spring in the South. Spring is much more of a mental motivator than New Years is to me. We can see new beginnings in nature. It happens right before your eyes. You don’t have to dream it up, wish for it, or even look at a calendar. The warmer weather has you shedding the old, heavy clothing, and putting on the new, brighter thoughts of the future.
This year we have experienced a warm winter. Yes, we have had the minimum number of very cold days needed to help freeze some bugs. But in general, it has been very mild. This has meant that I did not had to wait until March to start working in the garden. While many dates still apply such as when to start seeds, a lot of work can be done while the weather is pleasantly warm. Instead of hibernating, I have been cleaning up, moving perennials and prepping for the right time to plant. Being able to extend the workload time line is a gift I am thankful for. Now is the time to shake off the dust and get moving. Get out there and plant for the future. If you need me, you can find me in the garden.
