WELCOME TO
THE RUTLAND GARDEN CLUB

The Rutland Garden Club was founded in 1914 to provide a social framework for the sharing of information and ideas on gardening and floral design.

Over the ensuing 100+ years the Club has contributed to the beautification of the Rutland area and has worked to stimulate the public’s interest in all phases of gardening. Open educational presentations, garden therapy sessions, involvement with the Boys and Girls Club, workshops, and the twenty-one gardens we lovingly maintain have created a strong presence in our community.

Love to work in your garden? Want to learn more about gardening and horticultural practices? Looking for a fun way to contribute to our community? Join us!
