Since 1934
Our Humble Beginnings
"We believe in planting and caring for growing things, in encouraging others to do likewise, so that our town and community may be a lovelier place in which to live."
Louise Sopher, AGC member, 1938
Then and Now
In 1934, 24 ladies wearing hats and gloves, intent on creating beauty in home gardens and public places, started the Arlington Garden Club. In April of that year, members planted their first perennial garden in Terrace Park. Today the legacy lives on and our members maintain the Mayor’s Garden and Boulton Memorial in front of City Hall in Arlington, Washington.
That first year, members sold plants and bulbs to raise funds to support activities. Today our annual Plant Sale is a major source of funds as is the Holiday Garden Art and Crafts (see Events/Projects tab). Under this tab you will also find information about our club's community service projects as well as additional information about our scholarship program.
