About the club
Founded in 1957, The Riviera Garden Club is an association of amateur gardeners who further their knowledge of gardening and the environment. We have speakers on garden topics at our meetings and take tours to gardens. The objectives of the Riviera Garden Club are to mentor youth, to educate, increase interest in gardening, plant and bird life, conservation of all natural resources, and the beautification of our city. We also offer college scholarships each year to high school seniors planning to major in horticulture or environmental studies. We are an incorporated non-profit, public benefit organization.
Currently, the club has 48 members. You can learn a little more about us by reading the current issue of our newsletter, the Sea Breeze.
