We'd Love to Have You Join Us!
The Quincy Garden Club was first organized in 1948. In 1949 it joined the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs. The first club president was Mrs. W.D. Lines. Early club meetings were held at the Women’s Club. Soon after, the Bruce House was acquired as the Official Garden Center until 1975 when the Mark “Pat” Munroe home became the new headquarters for the Quincy Garden Club. This residence is now known as the Quincy Garden Center and remains as our headquarters. In 1956 the Club was chartered as a non-profit organization.
Energetic members are as interested in civic beautification as they are in their own gardens. Everyone desirous of creating an atmosphere of beauty in their home and community will find some avenue of self-expression as a member of one of the Garden Clubs Circles. The Garden Club is a service organization dedicated to the development of gardening, the betterment and beautification of the community and the exchange of ideas.
The Club's Projects Include:
– Maintaining the Garden Center’s house and gardens

We are a neighborhood Garden Club that strives to promote good will and beautify our community.
