Scope and Content Note

This collection consists of the records of the Floribunda Garden Club of Rock Hill, South Carolina, documenting the club’s activities, organization, and community involvement from its founding in 1955 through approximately 2015. The club was founded with the objective of promoting “the love of flowers, beautification of our gardens and the home of each member.” The collection includes meeting minutes, yearbooks, correspondence, event flyers, newspaper clippings, constitutions and bylaws, and four scrapbooks.

The scrapbooks and yearbooks document club officers and members, meetings, gardening activities, community projects, awards and recognitions, and other club events. The collection also includes materials relating to the club’s community involvement, including the placement of plant identification markers in Cherry Park and gardening programs at local elementary schools. Correspondence, meeting minutes, and event materials further document the organization and activities of the club.
