Oklahoma – Growing Together, Blooming Forever!

​

It is an exciting time for Oklahoma Garden Clubs, Inc. as we continue our 2025–2027 journey under my theme, PLANT AMERICA – “Growing Together, Blooming Forever.” My presidency is centered on growing our membership, strengthening friendships among clubs, increasing our visibility in communities, and creating opportunities for members to learn, serve, and simply enjoy being together.

​

Our President’s Project, “PLANT AMERICA – OGC Celebrate America with Wildflowers,” is bringing clubs together with the Oklahoma Native Plant Society and Color Oklahoma to establish native wildflower plantings across our state, supporting pollinators while adding a little more color to Oklahoma! Conservation continues this fall with our Broken Bow and Beavers Bend Pilgrimage, featuring forestry education, native plants, and pine seedlings while supporting NGC’s PLANT AMERICA Plant-A-Tree initiative.

​

Education and floral design remain an important part of our mission. OGC is working with our Tulsa members to offer all four Flower Show School courses, along with a Judges Symposium and Tri-Refresher, providing opportunities for both new and experienced members to expand their knowledge and keep the art of floral design growing in Oklahoma.

​

Service is equally important. We are working toward establishing a Gold Star Families Memorial Marker at Fort Sill National Cemetery, joining the South Central Region in honoring the families of our fallen service members.

​

Most of all, I want my presidency to be about people. Whether we are planting wildflowers, studying floral design, walking through an Oklahoma forest, welcoming a new member, or gathering at one of our “Meet Me” events, we are building relationships along the way. As OGC approaches its 100th anniversary in 2029, we are planting seeds today that I hope will keep Oklahoma Garden Clubs growing together and blooming forever!​
