Roadside Beautification and Wildflowers
The Garden Club of Georgia, Inc. (GCG) launched the Wildflower Program in 1974, thanks to Mrs. Virginia Hand Callaway, then chair of the Birds and Wildflowers Committee. Her goal was to plant and protect wildflowers on Georgia’s roadsides.
In partnership with the Georgia Department of Transportation, GCG funds and supports wildflower planting and preservation by promoting the seeding of annuals and perennials. In recent years, the planting of spring bulbs brings early blooms to major highways.
Local garden clubs are encouraged to make donations using the GCG Donations form. Clubs who donate at least $25 receive a certificate of appreciation. You can also donate in honor or memory of someone at this link: Honorarium/Memorial donation.
