We are gardeners with diverse backgrounds and come from many different cities. Like you, we have many interests and enjoy sharing, learning, and creating with others.
WE MEET on the first Friday of each month from September thru May at the Eau Gallie Library, 1521 Pineapple Avenue, Melbourne, FL 32935.
WE START our meeting at 9:30 am catching up with fellow members and greeting guests, and then our program of fascinating presenters starts at 10:00 am. After the program, we have a general club business meeting. We adjourn at noon. After adjournment, we have an informal plant exchange in case members bring something from home to share. Some people then have lunch at a nearby Eau Gallie Arts District restaurant.
Established in 1927, our club is a member of the nearly 100-year-old Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., District VI, Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., the regional organization, and National Garden Clubs, the national leadership organization. Membership in our club automatically connects you with the other clubs and all the programs they offer to garden club members.

WHAT WE DO
Our current projects include providing Habitat for Humanity homeowners with a basket of garden-related items, collecting for National Garden Club’s Plant-A-Tree which contributes money for forest restoration in the U.S., and replacing an original Blue Star Memorial Marker.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Melbourne Garden Club is to further the education of its members and the public in the fields of gardening, horticulture, botany, floral design, landscape design, and environmental awareness, and to instill in our youth and community the love of gardening and respect for and protection of the environment. Members enjoy educational monthly programs, field trips, workshops, and plant exchanges.
