Woman’s Club of Roland Park Garden Club

President: Salli Ward

Geographical Area:
Baltimore City and County

Currently we are a garden club in name only and do not have any activities. As Chairman of the Garden Committee of the Woman’s Club of Roland Park, I am the “President of the Garden Club” and asked to get three programs per year on garden related subjects. The Woman’s Club was started in 1896 but the first evidence of a garden club we have found is a two-page schedule for a standard flower show dated 1927. Flower shows were a regular feature of the Woman’s Club into the eighties when it appears participation began to drop off. Today some of our Woman’s Club members want to be affiliated with a garden club so they pay the required $10 a year for membership. We have 8 members currently.
