May 17, 1932, in the Linden area of Columbus, Ohio. The club
sought to " bring into relation of mutual helpfulness the amateur
gardeners of Linden; to promote the interest and increase the
knowledge of members; to further the development of home gardening;
to encourase civic and state beautification; and to make combined
action possible when deemed expedient." The club was governed by
a president, vice- president, corresponding secretary, recording
secretary and treasurer. These officers, elected at the annual
meeting held in September, constituted the executive board. The
club was disbanded on June 29, 1983.
