Our September Fundraiser was a resounding success.!!  Thank you to all of our Garden Club member volunteers both in planning and staffing the sale.  And of course thanks to all of our customers–there were lots treasures for them to take home.  Left over items were donated to a number of local charities. The funds we raised allows us to pursue our mission as stated below:

The Lexington Council Garden Clubs provides education, resources, and networking
opportunities for its members; promotes the love of gardening, floral design, and civic and environmental responsibility; promotes horticultural education, landscape design, and conservation; supports the community through projects and grants; and provides scholarships for horticulture-related education.
