Our History

Our organization has a long and storied history that dates back to 1928. We were founded by Marion Scruggs, who traveled to New York City to help start our parent organization. Since then, we have grown and evolved to become one of the largest and most respected garden clubs in the state.

Our Headquarters

Our state headquarters is located in Fort Worth, Texas, and is home to our staff and also functions as a garden meeting center. Our headquarters is located on the grounds of the beautiful Fort Worth Botanic Gardens, across the parking lot from the Garden Center and Conservatory. We also have a large library with over 10,000 horticulture books and over 200 videos on all phases of gardening.
