Take a moment to reflect on what you have accomplished in your club as you hear the many accomplishments of the work of GCV committees. As we plan, we continue to focus on the GCV mission to restore historic gardens and landscapes, to conserve Virginia’s natural resources, to inspire a love of gardening and to provide education for our members and the general public. Our beacon now is the GCV’s Centennial in 2020. How will we celebrate our past 100 years leading up to May 2020? What has the GCV been known for during that time? How do we plan for the next 100 years? You are here, at this meeting, representing your communities, your clubs and your committees. You are the heartbeat of the GCV. I am so very appreciative of your service.
~Ann Gordon Evans, May 2014
Upon accepting the gavel, Ann Gordon became the 46th President of the Garden Club of Virginia. Her remarks included two questions, “Why did you join your garden club?” and “Why have you stayed?” She challenged members to ponder these questions when setting goals for the Garden Club of Virginia and planning for the future.
“The Garden Club of Virginia exists to celebrate the beauty of the land, to conserve the gifts of nature and to challenge future generations to build on this heritage.”
These worthy goals have guided the Garden Club of Virginia since 1920.
