Information on Flowers and Plants across the South

Do you love Gardening? Do you live in Summerton or around nearby Lake Marion in South Carolina? Then perhaps you ought to consider joining a local garden club.

The Pink Dogwood Garden Club is located in historic Summerton, South Carolina. It was first organized back in 1937 and is open to both men and women who have an interest in gardening, plants, and wildlife. The club is a member of both the National Garden Clubs and the Garden Clubs of South Carolina.

Garden clubs are an organized group of people with a shared interest in gardens, gardening, and plants. The first and oldest organized garden club in the US was the Ladies' Garden Club of Athens, Georgia, that was started in 1891.
