- Our Centennial Story . . .
The Dolley Madison Garden Club was founded in November 1919 by a group of civic-minded and garden-oriented women. The zinnia was selected as the Club flower symbolizing friendship, endurance and constancy. The Club was one of the seven founding members of the Garden Club of Virginia in 1920 and joined the Garden Club of America in 1922.
The founders set three goals for the Club: protect the rural heritage of the central Virginia area; stimulate horticulture advancement; and, undertake community improvement projects. The Club is vibrant and active as it continues the work started by its founders over a bridge table 100 years ago and looks forward to the challenges of its next 100 years.
