Conservation and Beautification

The mission of the Princess Anne Garden Club is “to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening; to promote gardening among amateurs; to share horticultural knowledge by means of demonstrations, lectures, conferences, correspondence and publications; to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action; to protect our native trees, wildflowers and birds; to encourage conservation of natural resources; to promote civic planting; to encourage roadside beautification; and to aid in the restoration and preservation of historic gardens in Virginia.”

The mission strongly reflects our enduring commitment to Conservation and Beautification. Through our many years of stewardship of First Landing State Park, the Virginia Marine Science Museum and Aquarium, and many other civic projects including the Brock Environmental Center, the Princess Anne Garden Club has demonstrated this commitment through action.

Current Projects
