The Eugene Garden Club was organized on April 28, 1927, and became a member of the Oregon State Federation of Garden Clubs in 1929. The club was formed to stimulate the love of gardening, horticulture, and floral artistry, aid in protecting and conserving plants, trees, and birds, and promote civic beauty and community welfare.
The Eugene Garden Club is a tax-exempt public charity under Section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, scientific, and benevolent purposes.
