Welcome to HUNTINGDON VALLEY GARDEN CLUB, a nonprofit organization in Huntingdon Valley, PA. Since 1925, our dynamic and energetic members have committed to sharing their knowledge and love of gardening, horticulture, floral design, photography, and conservation with each other and the community. We invite anyone to join us who desires to learn and enthusiastically participate so that together, we can further our goals and advance our mission. It is the spirit and energy of our members that enables us to be partners in our community.

About Us

HVGC became a member of The Garden Club of America in April 1959. Our garden club has a long history of civic projects that we continue to support. We participate in The Philadelphia Flower Show as exhibitors, volunteers, and Committee leadership. We are also a member club of The Philadelphia Committee of the Garden Club of America, which supports horticulture projects of nonprofit organizations within the City of Philadelphia. We meet once a month from September to June, with the exception of March. HVGC is committed to the stewardship of the environment and the conservation of the natural world.

Huntingdon Valley Garden Club strives to provide a welcoming environment to members and non-members so they can enjoy sharing their passion and love for gardening, floral design, photography and conservation.
