Beautify Blight—NGC President's Project
"Beautify Blight" is an endeavor to create teams within a town, city, or region to develop a vegetable garden on a formerly unsightly piece of property chosen by the group. As National Garden Club members, let's show our communities that we care. In Georgia, our State Chairman Lou Ann Bleakley will coordinate clubs' efforts on this project. For details see this page.

Golden Days—Plant Daffodils for Seniors
NGC President Renee Blashchke's project, "Golden Days," promotes the planting of daffodils. What a great way to recognize our gardening friends who are no longer in their homes or can no longer plant flowers. We'll plant daffodils for them!

Your Golden Days Project might include mass plantings at retirement centers or at Blue Star Memorial sites. You might choose instead to take a potted plant to a nursing home. Document your projects and apply for the award. In Georgia, Contact State Chairman Lou Ann Bleakley for details or visit this page.

Penny Pines Program NGC and the USDA Forest Service are proud to have formed a "Penny Pines Program" partnership sustaining our national and urban forests through this reforestation/forest education program. Your garden club can participate by contributing $68 to a Penny Pine plantation as part of the costs of replanting replacement trees and/or trees indigenous (Not Just Pine Trees) to a particular damaged area, whether by fire or by other natural catastrophe. You may designate a specific State you wish to have benefit from this contribution. Checks should be made out to the Garden Club of Georgia and donations mailed to Georgia State Chairman Willie Mae McDaniel, 4189 Chapel Lake Drive, Decatur GA 30034. Contact Willie Mae by email, or for further details see this page.
