2026 Issues

In 2025, The Westport Garden Club had its 75th Anniversary Celebration with a colorful, action-packed year! Members welcomed guests to a Garden Club of America meeting for the 19 clubs in its geographic zone, cleaned up and renovated the Azalea Garden in Loose Park, and documented the organization’s history in a wonderful new book. The milestone was capped off with a beautiful anniversary dinner at Linda Hall Library. Congratulations to The Westport Garden Club!

Susie Heddens and Margaret Hall cut the ceremonial cake!
