Events
Welcome to the 101st Year of the Columbia Garden Club, 2026-2027
Plant Exchange
Twice a year in the spring and fall, the club holds a community plant exchange. Members and the community participate in this project by sharing plants, seeds, and cuttings from their gardens. Members staff the exchanges and advertise the event for the community. Master Gardeners are on site to answer questions about plants. The Plant Exchange has recently featured native plants. This has been an ongoing community service project since 1927.
Project involves civic beautification, conservation of natural resources, public education, horticulture, wildflowers, native plants, and advancement of the art of gardening.
