History
The Santa Rosa Garden Club began with a small group of women gardening enthusiasts who, after meeting in private homes, decided to become a formal club. On March 28, 1949, California Garden Clubs, Inc., accepted their application and the club was born. Since the beginning, our members have been active in the community as well as within the club. In 2000 the club was honored with receipt of the City of Santa Rosa’s Merit Award for 50 years of community service.
Grants & Scholarships
The SRGC awards annual scholarships to students majoring in horticulture, environmental studies, natural resources, or viticulture at Santa Rosa Junior College and at Sonoma State University.
Study Groups
Study Groups are an additional opportunity to work with fellow SRGC members to expand your mutual knowledge and love of gardening. There are two study groups within the Santa Rosa Garden Club: Cacti & Succulents and Garden Related Outings. Study Groups meet on a monthly basis and are open to Santa Rosa Garden Club members. The
Cacti & Succulent Group meets the second Friday of each month from September to May. The Garden Related Outing Group plans events throughout the year on the third Wednesday of the month.
