About FCGC

Established in 1950 in Falls Church, Virginia, the Falls Church Garden Club is a local group of gardeners of varying interests and abilities. Some of us maintain extensive grounds, some of us garden in containers. Some of us go nuts for “obscure” plants, some of us love vegetables, and some of us could not live without perennials. Orchid lover, backyard orchardist, tulipomaniac, greenhouse hobbyist, fig specialist, dahlia enthusiast, tomato king, sunflower queen.  A few of us are just starting to play in the dirt. You can meet us all, and you can be one of us!

  • Donations to environmental and local community causes, including sponsoring a joint educational project with Thomas Jefferson Elementary School in addition to providing an annual contribution
  • Falls Church parade on Memorial Day (depending on member participation)
  • School activity, including a money gift to help install the Mount Daniel Elementary School observation garden
  • Public garden support; for example, we provided $750 to the Northern Virginia Park Authority to assist with the creation of a new garden/park at the intersection of Grove Street and the W&OD Bike Trail.  We have also provided donations to the Margaret White Garden and Meadowlark Gardens
  • Spring Plant Sale; an annual event open to the public, the FCGC Spring Plant sale provides the community with the opportunity to acquire common and rare plants at “bargain” prices, and to obtain local gardening knowledge from our members.
