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!

"Have you ever been to a garden and you’re not quite sure why, but it reaches out and grabs your soul? Whether it’s a brightly colored perennial garden, a green and serene English garden or a minimalist contemporary garden, the effect is the same – you’re emotionally transported to a different place. As you walk through this garden your pace slows as you catch yourself marveling at the smallest details. What is it about this garden and how can you create this feeling in your own?"
"What you’re experiencing is harmony at work, and believe it or not you can have this experience in your own garden. But with all of the buzzwords and trends in gardening these days, how do you know where do you begin? Based off of my new book, Refresh Your Garden Design, I’ll share my secrets to reviving your garden in ways that are inspiring, informative, and easy to put into practice. Today, you’ll learn how to take your garden to the next level by using timeless design principles in unconventional ways."
