Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts

Prior to 1927 the garden clubs of the state had registered with Mr. Edward I. Farungton, Secretary of Massachusetts Horticultural Society and had been called together by him at intervals for informal meetings. As the number of clubs increased, horticulturally minded persons recognized a force which might unite as a useful factor for beauty throughout the state, A Constitution and By-Laws were accepted in 1928 and seventeen clubs became the core of the Federation.
