In addition to the social opportunities it offers, the Arlington Garden Club is active in the community. Our volunteers, which currently total approximately 100 members, work hard throughout the year on fundraising events to support local scholarships and local beautification projects, as well as contributions to community organizations selected by the board.
Read more about our two major fundraising events, the Annual Plant Sale and the Holiday Garden Art and Crafts.

The Mayor's Garden, located in front of Arlington City Hall on Olympic Avenue, is planted and maintained by AGC members. Over the years the club has also planted a variety of items along the Centennial Trail.
Throughout the summer our garden club members' share the bounty of their gardens and donate extra blooms. Flowers are delivered to a local senior assisted living facility for residents to create bouquets to decorate their apartments.
For the past five years, AGC has participated in Potting Day held in May at Sunnyside Nursery. Our members volunteer to plant (for free) pots for customers who purchase their plants on the day the nursery offers its annual "container class."
