Men's and Women's Garden Club of Minneapolis
The Men’s and Women’s Garden Club of Minneapolis is celebrating its 81st year in 2023. The MWGCM is for everyone who loves to garden— whatever their experience level. Our members come from the Twin Cities metro area and beyond to share gardening knowledge with each other and the community. From the club’s inception, the MWGCM has dedicated itself to contributing to the betterment of the community and its individual members through gardening and horticultural activities. Founded in 1942 as the Men’s Garden Club of Minneapolis, the club has a long history of community service, including being instrumental to the inception of the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. Additionally, a large area, consisting of three separate gardens at Lyndale Park in Minneapolis, has been planted and maintained by MWGCM members as a gift to the community. Multiple scholarships are awarded annually to horticultural students at Minnesota colleges and universities.
