The Texas City Garden Club will be hosting their 50th Annual Holiday Market on November 12th from 9:30 to 4:00 PM at the Nessler Center in Texas City. This is always a well-attended event for the community of Texas City. We will have vendors along with a plant sale and delicious homemade baked goods.
The primary mission of the Garden Club is to promote awareness of city beautification, the love of gardening, environmental concerns, and community involvement. The Texas City Garden Club began in 1933. The first president was Ms. Davidson of the Davidson family. The first Holiday Market was in 1975 and continues to grow each year.
Some of our projects in promoting awareness of city beautification are the development of the Wildflower Project on Skyline Drive, we maintain the beautiful plants in front of Moore Memorial Library and have planted trees along with benches for Arbor Day. The Club also supports the Shriner’s Children Hospital in Galveston with clothing for their patients. This year Academy in Galveston has joined us with a generous donation.
The TC Garden Club is just one of many clubs and organizations supporting our community. Even with our everyday busy schedules, you can find ways to have an influence in our community.
Find positive aspects of your community to share with other people. A positive image encourages residents to shop locally and increases the chance new businesses will open in the area and promote growth.
Attend local festivals and other events. Most festivals are fundraisers for non-profit organizations who make their money through such events. Since organizations look at attendance to decide on continuing events, your family can add to the number for future activities.
By doing our part to contribute to the community, we expose ourselves to opportunities to build relationships with our neighbors. We also demonstrate what it means to be a good citizen to our children. A community feels more alive when people who live there love it enough to help improve it. Helping your community makes life better for your friends, family, and other people who live where you live.
The Garden Club always welcomes new members! Even if you are not a gardener, it is a wonderful way to become involved in your community. TC Garden Club meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m. at the Nessler Center.
