NASHVILLE AND THE GARDEN CLUB OF AMERICA 

From the beginning, one of the Nashville Garden Club’s goals was to become a member of the Garden Club of America. The Garden Club of America’s purpose is to stimulate a knowledge and love of gardening; to share the advantages of association by means of open meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications and to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through programs and action in the field of conservation, civic improvement and education.

In 1949, the Garden Club of Nashville together with the Garden Clubs of Asheville, Knoxville and Chattanooga hosted the Garden Club of America’s annual meeting.

In 1968, the Garden Club of Nashville hosted the Southeastern Zone Meeting, which included the first official Zone Flower Show.

The Club served as hosts for the 71st annual meeting of the Garden Club of America at the Opryland Hotel in 1984.

The Club served as host for the Zone IX Meeting and Flower Show at the Vanderbilt Plaza in 1990.

The Nashville Garden Club will host the Zone IX Meeting in May of 2003.
