Biographical or Historical Information

Since the end of the nineteenth century garden clubs in the U.S. have been an integral part of environmental and beautification achievement. Originally formed as a group for women to share plants, information, and advice about their gardens; garden clubs quickly spread to include educational pursuits and preservation of all aspects of wildlife. Separate garden clubs joined together in alliances and organizations to share ideas. The Federation of Garden Clubs of Norfolk and Vicinity, Inc. was formed as one such group in the Virginia Tidewater region.

In 1932 The Federation of Garden Clubs of Norfolk and Vicinity, Inc. was founded by the Garden Club of Norfolk.[1] Previously a separate organization, the Garden Club of Norfolk wished to include other clubs in the surrounding cities in order to broaden their span of work and influence. The mission of the Federation, as stated in their pamphlets is to "bring about a closer co-operation between the Garden Clubs belonging to the organization, form new clubs and work together for the beautification of our community, encouraging the knowledge and love of gardening. The Federation aids in the conservation and protection of our native trees, wildflowers, birds and fish, and strives to promote civic planting."[2] The Federation came together for Regular Meetings, Flower Shows, Schools concerning horticulture, and social events held by or decorated by the garden clubs.[3]

The Federation was a part of the Tidewater District of the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., Garden Club of Virginia, and the Garden Club of America.[4] As the Federation grew, members and officers began plans for a permanent location to ensure their collaboration with the community. In 1957, The Federation opened the Garden Center Educational building as its home and held the first Regular Meeting. In 1966 the mortgage of the building was paid off and the Federation held the Burning of the Mortgage on May 4th under the Federation President  next hit. Guest speaker Norfolk Mayor Roy B. Martin Jr. commented that due to the Federation, Norfolk "takes a back seat to no other city in beauty".[5]

Many of the Federation's members belong to prominent families within the community and their assistance in the betterment of the area has been notable.[6] The Federation has accomplished work within the area's tourism and agronomic stature; such as preserving historical sites and landscaping in public domain. For example, Historic Garden Week in Virginia which aids in the restoration and conservation of historic gardens and homes.[7] Many clubs in the Federation help with Historic Garden Week by hosting the Norfolk Home and Garden Tour held annually every April.[8]

The Federation not only promotes horticultural events, but establishes them as well.  In 1951 several of the Federation garden clubs along with the Women's Club of Norfolk helped create the first annual Norfolk Crape Myrtle Festival to promote the greenery and floral beauty of Norfolk ; an idea by Frederic Heutte, Norfolk's Superintendent of Parks and Forestry and founder of the Norfolk Botanical Garden.[9] In 1954 the festival was renamed the International Azalea Festival when moved from summer to springtime and to the Azalea Gardens. In 2009 the festival was once again changed to the Norfolk NATO Festival when the festival's mission was to promote not only horticulture, but also to recognize Norfolk NATO Command's influence on international affairs.[10]

With the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs, the Federation of Garden Clubs of Norfolk and Vicinity began work with the Virginia Department of Transportation on the Virginia Wildflower Program in 1976 and is still alive today. This program was created for the beautification of Virginia's roadsides, accomplished by planting wildflowers and trees donated by various civic organizations.[11] In 1960 the Virginia Federation began publication of a quarterly newsletter, Old Dominion Gardener, in which the Federation of Norfolk and Vicinity, Inc. continue to contribute.[12]

Today, the Federation continues to aid in beautification and city planting. Other projects include contributing to youth programs, providing educational grants to students and workers in the horticultural field, holding conferences to address environmental concerns, and aiding in the preservation of memorial sites and parks. The Federation also provided funding for the healing garden in the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden in Richmond, VA.[13]
