Welcome to Lemon Bay Garden Club
|
Lemon Bay Garden Club was established in 1959 by a group of community minded, garden loving, artistically talented women with the aim of giving back to the community. We continue their ambitions by maintaining our grounds for all to enjoy, presenting several events open to the public, participating in community events, working with Englewood's two elementary schools to beautify their grounds and introduce the students to the wonders of gardening, and educating ourselves and the community about horticulture, gardening, landscape design, floral design and the conservation of natural resources and our environment.
