About the Club - History
The Garden Club of Mount Prospect was organized May 8, 1963. The club's meetings, programs and projects are designed to carry out the vision of the founding members' mission statement to "encourage interest in gardening and horticulture, artistic use of plant materials, civic beauty and conservation of natural resources."
The purpose of the club was, and still is, to keep Mount Prospect beautiful. Over its more than 50 years of service, it has accomplished its goal. In 1997, the club was named a "Shining Star" for beautification to the Village and again in 2011 for the Green Thumb Award Program. In 2018 the mayor of Mount Prospect issued a proclamation during National Garden Week that lauded the contributions of the Club to the village.
In addition to its very important public projects, the Club also supports the village Arbor Day, the Friendship Park Conservatory of the Mt. Prospect Park District, the Mount Prospect Public Library and Flint Creek Wildlife Rehabilitation, Barrington, IL. The Club is a member of the Chicago Botanic Garden and Citizens for Conservation, Barrington, IL.
The club's meetings are fun and informative, providing opportunities for members to socialize and make new friends. We offer members and guests interesting programs on a wide variety of topics presented by experts in the fields of conservation, floral design, landscaping, horticulture, environmental issues and other related subjects.
