If you love to garden, hope to garden, or just admire Alpharetta's many gorgeous home gardens, you are very welcome to join the Alpharetta Garden Club. The Club plans monthly meetings with interesting programs, a popular annual Pass-Along Plant Sale, and contributes to the upkeep at the gardens at the historic Mansell House.
The Club is hands-on with numerous opportunities to learn more about all that grows and to give back to our community and future generations of gardeners through scholarships.
The Alpharetta Garden Club was founded on March 20, 1973 by Gloria Mote. The garden club began meeting in basements of members' homes. After many years without a home base, members were overjoyed that Mansell House could be a permanent place where the club could hold its meetings. The Alpharetta Department of Recreation and Parks provided the Alpharetta Historical Society a new home for their organization in exchange for their care of the historical house. They offered the Alpharetta Garden Club the opportunity to create the gardens around the house; planting and maintaining the grounds in exchange for the use of the house for their monthly meetings. The garden club accepted the offer and their first meeting in the Mansell House was held in May 1995.
Club Meetings are held the fourth Tuesday of every month at 9:30 am (social) – 10:00 am (program) . Planting and maintaining the gardens are scheduled the first Tuesday of every month 9:00 am to 11:30 am.
This month, on February 25, Ashley Frasca's presentation, Green and Growing, is at the heart of the meeting.
See you there!
