Clubs and Civic Garden Projects
Individual clubs that are members of the Lexington Council Garden Clubs are required to support a Civic Project, as mandated by membership in the National Garden Clubs, Inc. Our clubs maintain various gardens in Fayette County, including two gardens at the Waveland State Historic Site, the African American Cemetery #2, the Women’s Garden at Wellington Park, and the Lexington Ronald McDonald House.
