If you have, or been to other public gardens around Lexington, then you have seen the civic contributions of the Lexington Council Garden Clubs. From being the impetus for the establishment of LFUCG’s Tree Board and Corridors Commission, being founding members of the UK-Lexington Fayette County Arboretum, establishing, maintaining and contributing funds and sweat equity to floral gardens throughout the city, supporting community and school garden projects. and helping to create and upkeep pollinator ecosystems, you have seen the Council’s touch..
LCGC has been an important player in the often overlooked greening of Lexington. When you purchase tickets to our June Garden Tour, you become our partners, as tour proceeds provide much of the funding for our efforts. This is a winning situation for you (garden tour!), LCGC (funding), and for the city of Lexington.
We look forward to seeing you at the Tour!
