Avondale Estates Garden Club

The Avondale Estates Garden Club continues the mission established over 85 years ago by the neighborhood women who began the third garden club in Georgia: Education, Beautification and Charitable Efforts.  They planted the Abelia hedge on North and South Avondale Road, flowering trees and shrubs around Lake Avondale, established the Bird Sanctuary Park beyond the Lake, and planted trees along the streets of the City. The club also contributed to the plantings in Piedmont Park and the Governor’s Mansion.

Today the club continues these activities and partners with the City to beautify the east and west entrances to the City and to plant memorial trees each Arbor Day. They support veterans at the VA hospital in a variety of ways and the women and children at a women’s shelter. They contribute to scholarship programs at the state level for students studying horticulture. 

The Avondale Estates Garden Club keeps pace with the community’s interest in preserving our green space, our tree canopy, and enhancing our home landscapes by providing six monthly meetings that cover a wide range of topics with engaging and knowledgeable speakers.  The evening meetings give an opportunity for young families and working men and women to become members.
