This is a very active garden club, centered in East Cobb County, Georgia.

     In addition to numerous design and horticultural entries, the members serve in horticultural classification, placement, and clerking.  Each year, the club brings home hundreds of ribbons and awards.

• Members developed two gardens at McFarlane Nature Park in East Cobb County and participated in establishment of the McFarlane Meadow.

 - A nectar garden surrounds the active bee hive at the park, providing nourishment for the resident bees and educational signage about the bees and plants for visitors. Master Gardeners recently replanted this area.

 - A Memory Garden is home to native trees and shrubs that like "wet feet", and are planted in memory of members no longer with us.
