Abstract: The Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City is a women’s gardening and
landscaping club founded in 1923 in Traverse City, Michigan and is a member of the
Federated Garden Clubs of Michigan. This collection contains their meeting minutes,
presidents’ books, photographs, scrapbooks, moving images, financial records,
membership ledgers, ephemera, and publications.
History: The Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City was organized in 1923 by two
sisters, Edna Barnum Lawton and Annette Barnum Power. The club became a member
of the Federated Garden Clubs of Michigan, INC in 1931. The Friendly Garden Club is
structured into committees; program, civic beautification, horticulture, highway
improvement, garden therapy, publicity, conservation, junior gardening club, and
membership.
The objectives of the Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City are as follows; providing
education, promoting the love of gardening, landscape and floral design, encouraging
civic beautification and environmental responsibility. This civic beautification objective is
pursued through projects where the club members garden and landscape local public
city parks. The “Friendlies”, as they may refer to themselves, also participate in flower
shows. Often these flower shows are to fundraise for gardening projects such as the
improvement of school gardens. The Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City has
received numerous awards.
(Archivist’s Note: Information found on the Friendly Garden Club’s website.)
