The awards are many and varied. Perhaps a local garden club has completed an outstanding project which restored a historic gazebo on the town square. The club would be eligible to apply in several different award categories. If chosen as a state winner, they are rewarded with recognition for their work and have the satisfaction of knowing the completion of their project bettered their community.
A highlight of the annual Garden Club of Georgia convention is the elegant and exciting awards banquet. The hardworking winners are asked to come forth and receive their awards and the applause. The awards are kept top secret until they are announced at this glittering event.
Award categories are also available on the Deep South regional level and the national level. Hundreds of award categories are available. The applicants must document their work and must provide information indicating the scope of their achievement. Most award categories strongly encourage cooperation within the community and youth involvement. The Awards Committee of the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., administers the awards program.
As a State organization federated with the National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC), the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. (GCG) is a national leader of awards won. The annual NGC convention usually finds GCG in the winner's circle, winning more awards than any other state federation.
The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. operates an active awards program for its membership. The purpose of the awards program is to recognize the achievement of an individual, a club or group of clubs which further the goals and objectives of the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., the Deep South Region, and National Garden Clubs, Inc.

Summer Tips Don't throw away any leftover iced tea from a visitor's glass. Let it come to room temperature and use it on your indoor house plants. It is both a fertilizer and an insecticide.
"As long as gray [soapy] water stays in the soil and just makes contact with plant roots, it is not considered a contaminant. To avoid damage to plants, only simple soaps should be used in the house. Do not use bleaches and detergents that contain chlorine or boron." |
