CONSERVASCAPE: FCGC provides each new member with conservascaping and xeriscaping information distributed by the Cooperative Extension Service. Our Wildflower and Native Plants committee offers catalogs and support for members desiring to incorporate such plantings in their landscapes

RECYCLING: Suggestions and reminders for the three R’s of recycling - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - are included in the monthly gardening guides provided to members at each meeting. In addition, periodic programs present methods of various types of recycling.

JUNIOR GARDENERS: The FCGC Junior Gardeners program encourages participants to think about and practice caring for our environment. Each year two or three Junior Gardeners receive scholarships from FCGC to attend Camp Wekiva.

FCGC Members take pride in helping our town reflect its name working hard to keep the "floral" in Floral City through downtown roadside plantings, potted plants outside businesses, the Bird and Butterfly Garden along the bicycle trail, and the Memorial Garden outside the library.

FCGC annually awards good landscape designs with a yard sign for the best Yards of the Year to encourage members and the public to explore and incorporate landscape design techniques in their gardening. In addition, FCGC holds a Secret Garden Tour every other year to recognize well landscaped homes and open them to the public to view.

Membership involvement in preparation of floral designs for various functions and to display in the public library as well as the Standard Home Flower Show [held in the Spring of 2000] advances the understanding and education of members and the community about the art of floral design. On-going support of this goal is achieved through attendance at other local and state garden club flower shows.
