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 has 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!

Flower Show "FloralOpoly"

September 14, 10 am to 5 pm

The Rutland Garden Club presents a National Garden Club Small Standard Flower Show at the Castleton University Bank Gallery, 104 Merchants Row Downtown, Rutland Vermont.

Judging is conducted on September 13, and the show will be open to the public on Saturday, September 14, from 10 am to 5 pm.

Each National Garden Club show presents a number of areas of competition based on a theme - our show is called "FloralOpoly", a play on the name of the board game Monopoly. This flower show contains entries from club members in four formal Flower Show Divisions: Design, Horticulture, Education and Botanical Arts. Within each division are the named Classes. Each of the classes is named whimsically based on the game Monopoly, to reflect a guiding theme for that class. For example, within the Design Division, there will be a Petite Design Class, "A Walk Through Marvin Gardens".
