The Magnolia Garden Club, in Beaumont, Texas, was organized in 1937, for the purpose of fostering interest in home gardening and flower arranging. Conservation, civic improvement and education in these fields soon expanded the program.  The Magnolia Garden Club became a member of the Garden Club of America in 1949.  

 

The purpose of The Garden Club of America is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening, to share the advantages of association by means of educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications and to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.
