Colleyville Garden Club
Activities
CGC members conduct and participate in multiple projects from education to local civic beautification, youth grants and other service projects.
Ambassador Program: Our “Ambassadors Program” was created to help new members feel welcome. Established members focus on the integration of new members by answering questions and facilitating introductions to other members, activities, and workshops.
Civic Beautification: Our club dedicates one Monday each month to enhancing the Colleyville Center. We will enhance the walkways and facility grounds for the enjoyment of the entire community.
Excursions: Our excursions are a valuable part of our Garden Club experiences. Past excursions have included trips to botanic gardens, daylily, tulip and lavender farms and regional nurseries. A stop for lunch at a fun restaurant is usually on the agenda.
Fundraising: Proceeds from our fundraising activities support a variety of charities and causes within the local community. Our September meeting will kick off a Fall Tulip Sale. "Gardens of Gold". In December, the club hosts a Holiday Luncheon, with delicious lunch; and, both live and silent auctions. Spring will include CGC Plant Sale and the annual May Luncheon. The May Luncheon will again include the chance to bid on a wide array of donated items.
Holiday Wreaths: Each December this committee holds a workshop to create beautiful, fresh balsam wreaths for each of the city buildings, including the Colleyville Center, City Hall, Police and Fire Stations, and the Senior Center.
Plant Exchange: We will hold our plant exchange at the October meeting. Members bring plants and seeds from their gardens to exchange with other members and guests.
Service Project: This fall, we will meet at Dancing River Assisted Living where we will assist residents in creating “one of a kind” arrangements for their rooms. Similarly, in the spring, we will meet at Atria Senior Living and we will help residents make Spring time flower arrangements for their rooms.
Yard of the Season: In the fall and in spring, outstanding yards are recognized - one member yard and one non-member yard. Winners are recognized with a sign posted in their yard and a gift card from a nursery for the non-member winner.
Youth Grants: CGC supports youth within our community with grants focusing on gardening/nature/environmental activities and studies. In 2023, CGC awarded 2 $250 grants. In 2024, CGC will double our grant monies to $1,000.
Pop-Up Events: Look for announcements about future workshops including botanical watercolor painting, propagation, composting, holiday gifts, using herbs and other garden related topics.
