About the club
Read the Daily Breeze article on our 60th:
Parade of hats highlights 60th anniversary Riviera Garden Club luncheon
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 a college scholarship each year to a high school senior planning to major in horticulture or environmental studies.
We are a incoporated nonprofit benefit organization.
The picture above shows our scholarship winners Bruce Kok and Kayla Fort with member Pati Johnson.
We always welcome new members who are interested in our objectives. The club recommends that anyone wishing to join should
attend at least two general meetings and then apply for membership.
