Our History

The Garden Club of Downers Grove is buzzing with excitement as we gear up for our fabulous 100th anniversary celebration in 2027! Founded on

February 28, 1927, by a dynamic group of women from the Downers Grove Women's Club, our club has always been driven by a love for gardening, conservation, and protecting wildlife and the environment. With a history of engaging meetings in unique locations, from members' homes to local firehouses, we now gather at the American Legion Post 80 iners Grove, Illinois. Over the years, we've celebrated our creativity with award-winning Flower Shows and our beloved fundraiser, "A Festive Touch," which has grown to welcome over 350 guests, while supporting our programs, scholarships, and community projects! Join us as we continue to blossom and inspire!
