Attention: Due to the pandemic situation, our club meetings will be held virtually. Check our Facebook page .. --------------------- About Us -- Established in 1950 in Falls Church, Virginia, the Falls Church Garden Club is a local group of gardeners of varying interests and abilities. Some maintain extensive grounds. Some garden in containers. Some of us go nuts for “obscure” plants; some of us love just ordinary vegetables. Some specialize in orchids; some, dahlias. A few of us are planting more natives and going after the certification as a wildlife habitat. Many are just beginners or new house owners. Come meet us all and be one of us! Objectives --to stimulate interest in and to acquire knowledge in horticulture; --to promote the artistic use of plant material to beautify the home and community; --to participate in civic improvement and conservation practices --to serve as a medium for cooperative buying of seeds, plants, and garden supplies Membership Advantages
The FCGC supports a variety of educational and environmental activities in our community such as:
Fall Plant Exchange Open to members only. Held as part of our September meeting, attendees are asked to bring potted perennial plants to exchange. Check the September Seedling newsletter for further information."Gardening is not some sort of game by which one proves his superiority over others, nor is it a marketplace for the display of elegant things that others cannot afford. It is, on the contrary, a growing work of creation, endless in its changing elements. It is not a monument or an achievement, but a sort of travelling, a kind of pilgrimage you might say, often a bit grubby and sweaty though true pilgrims do not mind that. A garden is not a picture, but a language, which is of course the major art of life." Henry Mitchell About Henry Mitchell |
