Garden Club Celebrates 100 Years with Annual Garden Tour on May 11th

The Georgetown Garden Club is celebrating its 100th year in 2024, and the highlight of the year is, of course, their annual garden tour. It returns on May 11th (and marks the 94th year it has been held).

The ANC adopted a resolution honoring the organization last month. It reads:

ANC 2E commends the Georgetown Garden Club (GGC) on its celebration of 100 years.  The GGC is part of the heart and soul of Georgetown – working collaboratively on community beautification while strengthening our sense of community. 

The GGC’s focus on civic engagement has benefited all parts of our community. Through its annual Garden Tour, the GGC raises funds for local green spaces, parks, public gardens, and our tree-lined streets. The tour has become a highly respected event known throughout the Mid Atlantic.  The GTC has strategically provided funds for new planting in addition to funds that maintain our community’s existing green spaces.  The GGC’s beneficiaries have included Book Hill Park, Trees for Georgetown, Tudor Place’s gardens, the rose garden at Montrose Park, Rose Park, Volta Park, the Dumbarton Oaks Park Conservancy and Georgetown Waterfront Park.

ANC 2E wishes the GGC another 100 years of success in enhancing the beauty and unity of our community.

Tickets for the tour are $45 and can be purchased at www.georgetowngardenclubdc.org
