The Conservation Committee educates members on issues of ecological concern including native plants, endangered species and invasive species. The Horticulture Committee organizes workshops and displays, helps the Flower Show chairman with annual events, and plans field trips. In addition to this committee work, members are engaged in organizing house tours and fundraising events, designing note cards, producing photographs and videos, judging shows, and planning and attending zone and GCA meetings . Look for Tree Box ribbon winners on Georgetown Garden Day, May 5, as you tour the open gardens of Georgetown. For more information on Georgetown Garden Day, return to the home page .
Individual consultations are also available upon request.
In addition to beautifying our sidewalks and streets, a well managed tree box helps our streets by reducing erosion, retaining moisture, and suppressing weeds. The Georgetown Garden Club will award two internships in the Volta Park Habitat Gardens this summer for students seeking to learn more about conservation and horticulture. Finalists will be interviewed by members of the selection committee and will be notified on or before May 25. The goal of the internship program is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening, to promote and educate in horticulture, conservation and gardening skills, and to enhance the beautification of our public parks and greenspaces.
