YOU CAN’T WIN, IF YOU DON’T ENTER

Our Arizona garden clubs are so active in community projects, flower shows, blue and gold star marker memorial dedications, tree plantings and much more. Share your club’s events by applying for an AFGC Award. Most Awards Applications are due by November 1 and cover projects and activities completed in the past year, usually from May through March.

Awards are given to Members, Clubs, and Districts in honor of their general and /or specific contributions to the Arizona Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc. (AFGC) in the past year (generally May through March). The AFGC Awards are consistent with the Awards Program of our parent organization National Garden Clubs, Inc., to stimulate and encourage good gardening practices.

All AFGC Awards are presented at the AFGC Spring Meeting or Convention in odd-numbered years. Awards may be in the form of certificates, money, a trophy (Doris Helvig), and/or a trip to Washington, DC (Smokey Bear and Woodsy Owl Poster Contest). Additionally, Awards may be presented at District Meetings.
