Who We Are & What We Do

Our club consist of a variety of members of all genders, ages and interest. Each member can choose what they like to do and how involved they want to be. Some of our members like it strictly for the social aspect because our meetings are fun and some for our community’s well-being. We have a gardening committee that maintains area gardens at the Hoke Library, the Log Cabin and Indian Riverside Park. Some of our members joined for the educational programs. Some for our charitable causes. Our proceeds are used for summer camp scholarships for area school children.
And some for all of these reasons combined.

Mainly we like to see that each member gets the most out of their membership according to their own interest and schedules. In all, I think you will find us a gracious, friendly and down-to-earth (some of us literally) group of people that share a common interest in nature‘s beauty.

Your JBGC membership will also include a membership in the statewide Florida Federation of Garden Clubs and the National Garden Clubs. To find out more about why we became members of the FFGC and the NGC and what they do for us, please click on this link and a PDF will open or click on their names above.. We meet each month on the 3rd Wednesday from Oct through April. Our meetings are normally held at the Langford Community Center at the Jensen Beach/Rio border on Dixie Hwy. The meetings start at 11:00 am and each club business meeting (which run about 35 minutes) is followed by a guest speaker with demonstrations on various topics such as floral care, gardening and our environment.  We also have wonderful excursions to different events, garden shows, educational lectures, etc. We either car-pool or rent a coach depending on distance and attendance. We recently have had wonderful tours of the Villa Viscaya Gardens, Fairchild Tropical Gardens, The Society of the Four Arts, Green Cay Nature Center, Tropical Ranch, Heathcoat, and Mounts Botanical Gardens.
