What’s Our Mission?

Welcome to National Capital Area Garden Clubs Blog.  We are here to talk about our Clubs. And gardening. And landscape design. And floral design. And environment. And conservation. And civic responsibilities.  And how our clubs all work both independently and together in our commitment to the mission of our organization within our communities.  The National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc. mission is:

(1)  to coordinate the interests and activities of garden clubs, plant, horticulture, and speciality societies within in the Metropolitan Area of the District of Columbia, in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation in 1958 and

(2)  to provide education, resources and national networking opportunities for its members to promote the love of gardening, floral design, and the civic and environmental responsibility, in accordance with the Mission Statement of the National Garden Clubs, Inc.

When you go back to look at the mission statement of your particular garden club, you will see that it reflects NCAGC’s mission and the mission of Central Atlantic Region. And National Garden Club, Inc.'s mission. And that’s important because every activity we do - work in community parks and gardens, local schools and senior centers, community beautification programs, plant sales, program speakers, flower shows, attending symposiums, floral design education events - they reflect back to your club’s mission and NCAGC’s mission.
