The Rainier Garden Club meets at 9:30 a.m. on the first Wednesday of each month, except January, at the Rainier United Methodist Church, First and C Streets.

   

Rainier Garden Club dues are only $10.00 per year!

Guests are always welcome...

 

The club offers opportunities for members to learn practical horticulture and gardening from each other and from guest presenters at the club’s monthly meetings, as well as during several field trips during the year.

The club was organized originally in 1945, and is a member of the Pacific Region of National Garden Clubs, Inc., and the Pioneer District of the Oregon Federation of Garden Clubs.

Members maintain the flower beds at the “Welcome to Oregon” sign at the foot of the Lewis and Clark Bridge; present annual floral displays at the Rainier Public Library and the U. S. Post Office; make and distribute evergreen swags to seniors and others at Christmas; provide white flower arrangements for the annual Rainier High School awards ceremonies; and offer horticultural scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

The club has sponsored installation of a “Blue Star Memorial” to honor American servicemen and women, and three park benches in the Riverfront Park.

The club finances its projects primarily from annual dues and the proceeds of its annual pre-Mother’s Day plant sale.
