Norristown Garden Club

Norristown Garden Club Welcome To The Norristown Garden Club page! Our club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc. and The Garden Club Federation of PA. Mr. H.

On April 15, 1913, seven women met at the home of Miss Bertha Slingluff Harry on Swede Street and organized the Norristown Garden Club to promote interest in the culture of flowers by exchanging ideas, seeds, plants and bulbs. The officers were chosen and dues were fixed at twenty-five cents a year. On May 17, 1913, the following notice appeared under Mixed Locals of The Norristown Daily Herald, n

ow The Times Herald: All flower lovers are invited to meet at the YMCA rooms this afternoon at 3 o’clock to learn the plan of the Garden Club. The first meeting to which all flower lovers were invited
adjourned with seventeen paid members. By the sixth year, private homes no longer could accommodate the increased membership. Severn Regar offered the use of the Regar Museum, DeKalb and Fornance Streets. Nine years later meetings were held in St. John’s Church House and later in the Ersine Tennis Club House, 1529 DeKalb Street. From 1966 through 1984 the club met in the auditorium of Strawbridge & Clothier, Plymouth Meeting Mall. Plymouth Township Building was our meeting place from 1985 to 1997. From the fall of 1997 to the spring of 1999, our meetings were held at the Reformed Church of the Ascension in Jeffersonville. The Norristown Garden Club has met at the Normandy Farms Estates in Blue Bell since 1999. Our club has had a fall luncheon meeting since 1984 and it has always been well attended.

Norristown Garden Club held its annual Garden Contest this past week. The chairs of the Contest are Gina O'Hara and Maureen Von Stetina - holding one of the buckets with supplies that were donated by the Hatfield Lowe's for each of the participants. The judges met for instructions and then visited the gardens of those residents who had entered the Contest. This year it was decided to leave our Winner signs up for a while and, since these photos are only a small sampling of the Gardens that won, we hope you'll look for the signs as you ride around Norristown so that you can appreciate the beauty that our residents provide for their neighbors. These gardens are guaranteed to make you smile!

Edit: What a surprise! Who knew that this garden had been entered in the Garden Contest and, unsurprisingly, took first place in its category!

All new members of the "Class" of 2026 were invited to a "Get Better Acquainted" meeting - to meet other new members and the Board. A presentation of some of the things we do, some of the activities we enjoy and some of the service projects we offer was enjoyed by both groups. A fun afternoon meeting new friends.
