As our nation's official tree, the oak symbolizes strength, stability and longevity. Under the canopy of an oak tree, Elizabeth Price Martin created the concept of The Garden Club of America.
Over one hundred years later, the oak continues to embody the GCA's purpose and to symbolize the lasting legacy its work makes possible.
Founded in 1913, The Garden Club of America is recognized nationally as a leader in horticulture, conservation, creative arts, historic preservation, and environmental protection.
As you consider your personal legacy, we invite you to join The Great Oak Society.
The Society celebrates and honors those who remember The Garden Club of America in their estate plans or other planned giving.
