Join us at the Fort Worth Botanic Garden – Deborah Beggs Moncrief Garden Center for a meaningful celebration honoring 75 years of the Garden Club Council of Fort Worth, beginning at 10:00 a.m.

For three-quarters of a century, the Council has played a steady, behind-the-scenes role in shaping a greener, more informed, and more beautiful Fort Worth region. Through its network of more than 20 clubs and plant societies across the surrounding counties, it has helped strengthen local gardening knowledge, encouraged hands-on community projects, and supported the exchange of practical horticultural expertise among gardeners of all experience levels.

Its impact is visible in community beautification efforts, educational programs in horticulture and design, and ongoing advocacy for thoughtful environmental stewardship. The Council has also helped cultivate a stronger appreciation for native and adapted plants, contributing to more sustainable landscapes across neighborhoods and public spaces. Just as importantly, it has built a lasting sense of connection among gardeners, turning shared interests into collaborative projects that benefit the wider community.

This celebration is a chance to recognize not just longevity, but the steady, cumulative influence of people working together over decades to improve their local environment—one garden at a time.
