The Tuesday Garden Club of Jonesborough TN

Home

WELCOME

Established in 1928, the Tuesday Garden Club of Jonesborough, TN has evolved over the past eight decades into a dedicated group of people interested in gardening education and promoting good stewardship of natural resources within the Jonesborough and Washington County community.

Our primary purpose is to expand and encourage the knowledge and love of gardening.

OUR COMMUNITY PROJECTS INCLUDE

1. The Jonesborough Library Garden and David Crockett High School Partnership: In 1998, the TGC designed and constructed a children's garden at the Jonesborough Library. In recent years we established a partnership with the agricultural department at David Crockett High School. Club members mentor and work alongside the students, implementing new designs and maintaining the garden beds. Today the garden is one enjoyed by all ages.

2. Scholarships: Several yearly scholarships are awarded to David Crocket High School students pursuing college degrees in a horticulture field and students attending FFA leadership conferences during their HS years.

All levels of gardening knowledge are welcome in our club. Member levels range from beginner gardeners to Master Gardeners. We all share a love of gardening, a desire to learn, and a willingness to participate in community projects.

Membership in the Tues. Garden Club gives you the opportunity to get to know Jonesborough area people with like interests, to share knowledge and resources, and to develop life-long friendships. Our monthly meetings take place the 4th Tues. of each month and consist of a speaker, a brief business meeting, good conversation and good food.
