The story

The foundations for the organization were laid in 1904, when Elizabeth Price Martin founded the Garden Club of Philadelphia. Among its founding members were author and gardener Helena Rutherfurd Ely (1858–1920) and Henrietta Marion Grew Crosby (1872–1957).

In 1913, twelve garden clubs from the eastern and central United States signed an agreement to form the Garden Guild, later to become The Garden Club of America. Among the cofounders and original vice-presidents was Louisa Boyd Yeomans King of Michigan.
