GCG clubs are encouraged to observe Garden Week in Georgia. Plant a tree, a garden, provide floral designs for the courthouse or conduct a public program.

Garden Week is usually held the third week in April.

Advertise Garden Week in Georgia at your local nurseries, grocery stores, library and churches.

• Organize public or private gardens open for tours during garden week. Advertise Garden Week on Facebook, Twitter, etc.
• Involve school children in the week's events—plant flowers at the school.
• Take flowers and a poster to the local library, town council, etc.
• Hold a home and garden tour.
