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
Dear Garden Club Friends,
I miss all of you and the wonderful activities and programming that PGC offers. During the pandemic, I have been devoting my time between family, some reading and mostly gardening...truly my salvation as I move from one bed to another, upsetting most of my backyard friends, especially the birds! I want you all to know how much I appreciate everything you do. You are such a wonderful group of members who are caring, inspiring and creative. Please know that PGC is still here for you. The Board and I have met and we are planning some events for the upcoming months. I am looking forward to the time when we can safely be together again.
Amelia
