About Us
Gardens of the World Garden Club (GOT-World GC) is a virtual garden club with no geographic residency requirement and no in-person meeting attendance as meetings are held virtually via Zoom. GOT-World is a member of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. (FFGC), Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc., and the National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC).
We meet all requirements to keep you in good standing if you cannot participate in a traditional garden club or your existing club has disbanded, and you risk losing your NGC credentials for flower show judging or maintaining credentials as an environmental, gardening, or landscape design consultant.
We encourage membership in a local club if one exists, as the virtual club experience is intended for where no club exists or obstacles prohibits traditional membership.
Visit the Calendar page for scheduled meetings.
Why Virtual?
A virtual garden club allows you to participate in a garden club
if you are still working and cannot attend daytime meetings
tif here are obstacles to attending a local club, such as transportation or other obstacles, including the lack of a local club
because it is unique and enhances the experience of those who already enjoy local garden club affiliation, but does not replace it
The joys of garden club include meeting all kinds of people who share a common interest in plants, flowers, gardens, the environment and nature. GOT-World welcomes anyone, anywhere, of any ability or age as long as they have internet to access Zoom, speaks English, and can meet in our time zone (Eastern Standard or Daylight time).
Membership
You may join GOT-World as your primary garden club; however, if you are a member in good standing of any federated garden club(s), you may join us as a secondary garden club member (dual member). All opportunities and privileges of NGC and FFGC are open to members.
All you need to participate is an interest, computer access with a camera for virtual meetings, and reliable sound system. You are invited to be our guest at your first meeting. We invite you to keep attending by becoming a member. Click the Join Us button to join online.
