The Pinelands Garden Club is a non-profit organization whose mission is to encourage the art of gardening and the study of horticulture, to aid in the protection and conservation of natural resources, especially species unique to our New Jersey Pinelands, to promote civic beauty in our local area and create friendships among residents.
The club was founded by Ellen Roche on May 15, 1971 and admitted to the Garden Club of New Jersey, Delaware Valley District 7 in May 1974. The PGC is a proud member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. and the Central Atlantic Region, District 7. The PGC has a partnership with the Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge, Inc. and the Pinelands Preservation Alliance.
MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Our theme is "The Pinelands - Appreciating the Wildflowers." As you page through the yearbook, look closely at the amazing native wildflowers photographed by Albert D. Horner, an award winning photographer. Thanks so much for sharing these images with us and also for using your art to advocate on behalf of NJ Pinelands National Reserve. It is important that we all get involved in protecting and preserving the Pinelands and its rare wildflowers, so that our future generations can enjoy our precious natural heritage too!
Looking forward to another successful year with all of you,
Amelia
