Welcome to the Punta Gorda Garden Club’s website. We are proud to have been part of the beautification of the City of Punta Gorda, Charlotte County, Florida, for over seventy years. Please accept our invitation to peruse the information and photos included on this site.

Our club was founded in 1949 and federated in 1950. We are members of National Garden Clubs, Inc, Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., Deep South Garden Clubs, Inc. and District IX.
