Delaware Foundation of Garden Clubs
Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs (DFGC) was established in 1958 to encourage the interests of member clubs and promote collaboration through association, correspondence, and conference. Since then, the Federation has educated member clubs in all phases of gardening, floral design, landscape design, environmental concerns, and civic development.
The state organization and member clubs support the ongoing and special projects of NGC and CAR in addition to projects that are unique to Delaware and the local area.
GROW LOCALLY is DFGC President Barb DeRue’s theme for the 2021-2023 Administration. Delaware garden clubs continue to support our Garden for Families of the Fallen at Fisher House, Dover Air Force Base, and TREE-mendous Delaware Tree Planting at Delaware Botanic Gardens at Pepper Creek
