Your Partner in Environmental Conservation & Horticulture in Palm Beach
Founded in 1928, our organization has dedicated nearly a century to advancing horticulture, environmental conservation, and civic improvement in Palm Beach. We pioneered the town's first formal plan in 1929 and have maintained the Demonstration Garden at The Society of the Four Arts for decades. Our members actively engage in town beautification projects, including the Living Wall on Worth Avenue and the Southern Oasis Traffic Circle, while advocating for green spaces and historic tree preservation. Through annual House and Garden Day events and biennial flower shows, we raise funds for conservation initiatives and educational programs.Recognized with multiple awards from The Garden Club of America, we continue to support the Pine Jog Environmental Education Center and Everglades restoration efforts. Our commitment to community extends to Arbor Day celebrations, school partnerships, and horticultural workshops. With a legacy of legislative advocacy and environmental stewardship, we remain a trusted leader in preserving Palm Beach's natural beauty for future generations.
