These are photos from three community projects that are club undertook during November 2021, the first was the North Oak Cliff Library project. The first four photos are the before photos of the parking lot flower beds. There is also an image of the iris in bloom in Feb. 2021 just before Winter Storm “Uri”. The balance of five photos are from the workday in November where volunteers thinned the iris and replanted them in all of the flower beds. The next group of photos is from the Hampton Illinois Library Courtyard Project and the third group is from the Rainbow Garden Club North Texas Garden at the Dallas Heritage Village Phase 1. We are accepting donations for Phase 2. See the link to the donation page at the bottom of this page.

Our club has a diverse membership. Our experience as gardeners range from novice to Master Gardeners. Most of whom, but not all, happen to be gay or lesbian. Members come from all over the metroplex area, and everyone is welcome, whether you are a novice or a master gardener. We normally meet on the 2nd weekend of the month and have a speaker on a garden topic. Many of our members provide the program since they have become experts on one type of plant.
