Worcester Garden Club

ROOTED IN HISTORY

The Worcester Garden Club is a member of The Garden Club of America and National Garden Clubs, Inc. It was founded in 1919 by two enterprising women, Frances Morse and Gertrude Whitall. When inspired by a Flower Show held at Horticultural Hall (original home of Worcester County Horticultural Society, the third oldest horticultural society in the country), these women decided to invite interested colleagues to take part in their new venture. Meetings were held in people’s homes with the purpose of advancing horticultural knowledge to its members. Activities included educational programs, flower shows, garden tours and community service. These activities continue today.
