Ford’s Colony Garden Club is an active organization with 200+ members focused on beautification and conservation initiatives through environmental education, community involvement and fundraising. One of the first clubs formed in Ford’s Colony in 1988, we have cultivated a rich history of gardening, philanthropy and friendship. The club was federated in 1990 with the Virginia Federation of Garden Clubs until 2008 when the club shifted its focus from awards and juried events to promoting the study of horticulture, flower arranging, conservation of native trees, birds and flowers and encouraging civic planning and beautification. Our club has given grants and scholarships since its inception—providing 52 scholarships and local grants totaling more than $60,000 in award in the last 10 years.
