CLUB HISTORY
In 1953 a group of young women who hoped to learn more about gardening and also wanted to have an evening out, started the Gardenettes Garden Club. At first the husbands watched the kids at night while the ladies learned about gardening. But as time went on some of the husbands became interested and they to joined the club. Today we have several wife/husband couples in our club, and we still meet in the evening. The young women who aspire to be amazing gardeners did indeed hone their skills and have become astonishing gardeners, judges, designers, and mentors. Their treasure trove of skills and patience have shaped many gardening rookies into fine gardeners.
