  • National Garden Clubs News

    Nancy Peck, over at Garden Club Salon, alerted us to a new website created by the National Garden Clubs.  The Garden Club of the Back Bay, Inc. is a National Garden Clubs member.  On the Welcome Page, the NGS explains: ” With nearly 200,000 members across the U.S. and internationally (6300 local clubs, 50 state clubs, a National Capital Area Club plus international affiliates), National Garden Clubs and its membership have a lot of expertise, anecdotes, tips and ideas to share. The largest nonprofit volunteer organization of its type in the world, NGC works to promote civic and environmental responsibility as well as a love of gardening and floral design.  The idea behind this blog is to share the latest NGC news and press releases, trends and tips as well as relevant news items from online news media and gardening blogs. Your comments, photos and ideas are invited!”  Log on at http://nationalgardenclubnews.blogspot.com.  You can follow them on Facebook and Twitter as well, which says a lot about the changing demographics of Garden Club members, we believe.
