Plant America
Focused on Educating, Supporting, Publicizing and Building America's Garden Communities
The Plant America theme for President Gay Austin’s administration emphasizes the cornerstone elements of gardening: the variety of garden types; the elements required for healthy, sustainable gardens; an awareness of environmental issues; and resources to provide needed funds to put garden plans into action. This theme is chosen to help NGC members and the public return to the “roots” of why most members join garden clubs – to learn about gardening!
