Biographical History
The Garden Club of Philadelphia was established in 1904 by Mrs. J. Willis Martin and Miss Ernestine Goodman to promote an interest in gardens, their design, and management. The garden club held meetings, conducted horticultural research, attended lectures, and participated in civic endeavors. In 1913, several members of the Garden Club of Philadelphia joined with several women from other local gardening associations to form the larger Garden Club of America. The Garden Club of Philadelphia continued to participate in beautification and conservation projects at places like Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve and Glendenning Rock Garden. Each year the ladies of the club organized the Rittenhouse Flower Market, which benefited charities, sold holiday greens, and attended the annual meetings of the Garden Club of America. In 1965, the Garden Club of Philadelphia joined several other local horticulture groups to form the Philadelphia Committee of the Garden Club of America, so that all involved could engage in more substantial projects.
