About Us
The New Canaan Garden Club (NCGC) was founded in 1909, by a group of like minded women whose mission was to “stimulate the love of gardening among its members and the members of the community, to promote conservation and to encourage civic planting”. NCGC was the third garden club to be established in the United States and by 1920, the club became a member of the Garden Club of America (GCA), expanding its focus to national conservation and environmental issues. Through two world wars and more than a century, we have grown and thrived. Our legacy can be seen in almost every corner of our beautiful town and in our participation and support of the GCA mission nationwide.
