The Belleair Garden Club brings people together through a shared love of gardening, nature, learning, and community. Discover engaging programs, hands-on experiences, special events, and opportunities to make a meaningful difference in our community.

About Us

 The Belleair Garden Club is more than a gardening organization. We bring people together to learn, share ideas, beautify our community, and enjoy a shared love of nature and the outdoors.

While gardening is at the heart of many of our activities, you do not need to be an experienced gardener to feel at home here. Our members bring a wide range of interests and experience, coming together to learn, volunteer, build friendships, and enjoy educational programs, workshops, field trips, plant swaps, community projects, and special events.

There’s something for everyone at the Belleair Garden Club — and plenty of ways to get involved, make connections, and enjoy being part of the community.

History

The Belleair Garden Club was founded in 1950 by 23 residents who shared a vision of enhancing the beauty of their community and encouraging an appreciation for gardening and nature. Over the years, the club’s mission has grown to include horticultural education, conservation, community beautification, and historic preservation.

Throughout its history, the club has played an active role in beautifying the community through landscaping projects and support of local parks, including Magnolia Park, Palmetto Park, and Gardenia Park. The club has also contributed to the landscaping of public buildings and Town Hall while promoting gardening, environmental stewardship, and civic engagement.

In 1974, the Town of Belleair proposed a land exchange with the Belleair Garden Club. The town wished to acquire property owned by the club for tennis courts and, in exchange, offered the former Town Hall building at 903 Ponce de Leon Boulevard. The Garden Club accepted the proposal, and the building became the clubhouse of the Belleair Garden Club.

In 1994, the building was added to the National Register of Historic Places and remains an important part of the club’s heritage and a cherished community landmark.

Today, the Belleair Garden Club continues to serve the community through educational programs, workshops, community projects, scholarships, and special events. We remain committed to preserving our historic clubhouse while creating opportunities for people to learn, connect, and contribute to our community.

In 2025, the Belleair Garden Club proudly celebrated its 75th Anniversary, marking a special milestone in a rich history of gardening, education, conservation, community beautification, and service.

Mission Statement

The Belleair Garden Club is dedicated to horticulture education, conservation, community beautification, and the preservation of our historic clubhouse.
