The Springfield Garden Club endeavors to meet monthly during our program year. Each monthly meeting includes a light luncheon, informative (and fun) program, and an exciting raffle.
Most programs are open to the public and guests for a fee of $5. We meet in person at Forest Park (in the Carriage House at the Barney Estate or the Old Monkey House) on Fridays at 11:30AM.

BLOOMING ART - CALLING ALL MEMBERS!! Time to have a little fun!
Choose a favorite piece of art (painting, sculpture, needlepoint, or even a dance pose)
Prepare to bring the piece of Art or an image of it to display.
Create a floral design out of anything, but it must include some plant material (cut/ potted/ dried or fresh) that captures the essence of that piece of Art (Think Festival of Flowers or Art in Bloom, but more fun)
