The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs, Inc.

WHAT IS IT?

The Ohio Association of Garden Clubs was formed in March of 1930 and incorporated in 1959. Its stated objectives are - to bring into a relationship of mutual helpfulness garden clubs in the state of Ohio; to promote interest in and knowledge of horticulture, gardening and garden therapy, to encourage home, community and state beautification; to assist, when requested, State and National Parks Services; to promote appreciation and conservation of wildflowers, wild life, forests, wilderness areas and other natural resources and cooperate with other agencies promoting these interests; and to make combined action of its members possible for the accomplishment of all these objectives.

Hundreds of garden clubs throughout the state are members of the Association (known as OAGC), including more than 5000 garden club members and other individuals who are members-at-large.

Business of the Association is conducted by seven state officers, six counselors, twelve state chairmen in charge of various activities - and fourteen Regional Directors, each in charge of a specific area of the State. Each has two regional meetings per year, with speakers on phases of garden club activities. Regional Directors are available to give help to clubs and individuals, plan regional garden tours, horticulture days, etc. Contact chairmen in each County organize new clubs and help the Regional Directors carry out the aims of the Association. OAGC has been closely affiliated with the Ohio State University since 1930.
