Roadside Beautification and Wildflowers

The Wildflower Program began in 1974 when Mrs. Virginia Hand Callaway, then chair of the Birds and Wildflowers Committee of the Garden Club of Georgia, Inc., spearheaded a movement to plant and protect wildflowers on our roadsides.

GCG in partnership with Georgia DOT began a program to provide funds and support to protect and enhance the roadside wildflowers and promote the seeding of annuals and perennials.  In recent years, the planting of spring bulbs brings early blooms to major expressways.

State and District Chairmen encourage local garden clubs to make donations using the GCG Donations form to this effort. Clubs who donate at least $25 receive a certificate of appreciation.  You can also make an Honorarium/Memorial donation to this wide-reaching program.

A meeting with GDOT at their headquarters building in Atlanta on October 19, 2023 was a success. They were very appreciative of the $15,000 check from The Garden Club of Georgia for the wildflower fund. Pictured is Commissioner of GDOT Russell McMurry and GCG Roadside Beautification Chair Kathryn Litton after the presentation.
