Welcome to the Zone III
Website!
Zone III of the Garden Club of America is made up of 22
garden clubs, all of which are located within New York State. (Map
of Zone III Clubs) The garden
clubs range in size from 39 to 160 members. Two of the Zone III clubs, Bedford
Garden Club and the Garden Club of Orange and Dutchess Counties were
founding members of the Garden Club of America in 1913. The last club to
become a GCA member was the Syracuse Garden Club in 1975.
New York State
covers an area of more than 49,000 square miles, stretching from the
Atlantic Ocean to the shores of Lake Erie and from the Southern shore of
Long Island to the US/Canadian border. For those of us in Zone III, our
geography, climates and growing zones vary greatly but we are all
committed to the purpose of The Garden Club of America...
…"to stimulate
the knowledge and love of gardening, to share the advantages of
association by means of educational meetings, conferences,
correspondence and publications, and to restore, improve, and protect
the quality of the environment through educational programs and action
in the fields of conservation and civic improvement."
We hope that the
Zone III website will offer a glimpse at what's happening in and around
our zone including updates from our Zone III representatives, news of
what our 22 clubs are doing, a calendar listing of meetings, events, and
fundraisers, and a look at recent Zone and GCA Meetings. Enjoy the
website and please send along any news, corrections and/or ideas to Nan
Berger at: nailbe@aol.com.
P.S. Don't forget
to bookmark the Zone III website: Zone3gca.org
