About Us
2007 Garden Club of the Year
Club Flower - Day Lily
We, the members of the Hemphill Garden Club, are a cordial, dedicated group who work to better our community through various means. We maintain a strong core within our club through monthly meetings, September - May. These meetings include informative gardening and ecological material presented by authoritative speakers and conclude with a warm social time and luncheon. Two pilgrimages are included annually as well as participating in, hosting and attending various flower shows.
Hemphill Garden Club members are encouraged to choose committee assignments that allow us to pursue our own particular areas of personal interest and areas of growth and continuing education. Beginning in September the Community Concern committee holds monthly craft activities at the Hemphill Care Center.
Additional community support include participating in the Milam Settlers Days, sponsoring the Country Store, creating a float for the Christmas Parade, distributing toys for the Empty Stocking Program, decorating for several local events, such as the Sabine County Chamber of Commerce Dinner, The Shuttle Memorial Dinner and Deerfest. Club members are responsible for providing information about native trees during the Arbor Day Program, hosting a Plant & Rummage Sale, conducting the Scarecrow Contest as part of National Garden Week, mentoring children as part of two garden club projects, encouraging student involvement in national poster, poetry, and essay contests, participating in maintenance and the re-enactment at the historical Pratt House, funding scholarships through a quilt sale.
