Garden Club of Georgia, Laurel District

Marietta Garden Center

Marietta Council of Garden Clubs

 This is a very active garden club, centered in East Cobb County, Georgia.

  • It's members participate each year in the annual North Georgia State Fair Flower Show at Jim Miller Park.
         In addition to numerous design and horticultural entries, the members serve in horticultural classification, placement, and clerking.  Each year, the club brings home hundreds of ribbons and awards.

    •
  • Members maintain two gardens at McFarlane Nature Park in East Cobb County.

 - A nectar garden surrounds the active bee hive at the park, providing nourishment for the resident bees and educational signage about the bees and plants for visitors.

 - A Memory Garden is home to native trees and shrubs that like "wet feet", and are planted in memory of members no longer with us.

Our November meeting got us excited about doing arrangements using fruits and vegetables, in keeping with the traditional Thanksgiving cornucopia.

Linda Baird has provided pictures of the results.
