About Us
For over 50 years, the members of the Dominion Valley Garden Club have shared a genuine camaraderie and keen interest in expanding their knowledge and understanding of all things gardening related. Each meeting we invite a speaker to share their expertise on a variety of topics. At least twice a year we substitute a field trip for the regular meeting format. We meet monthly from September to May on Tuesday mornings.
The DVGC Bylaws list 5 primary objectives:
• To engage in activities which are charitable, educational, and scientific.
• To further the education of members and the public in the fields of gardening, horticulture, floral design, landscape design, environmental awareness, civic beautification, and nature studies.
• To instill in our youth the love of gardening and protection and respect for the environment.
• To aid in the protection of native trees, plants, and birds.
• To encourage civic planting and outside beautification and interest in environmental issues.
Our members participate in a wide array of activities and projects:
