Habitat for Humanity

In May of 1999, a partnership was formed between NGC and Habitat for Humanity. Habitat’s mission is to eliminate poverty housing while NGC’s goal is to encourage garden clubs to participate in the landscaping of the Habitat homes. The theme is ‘Open Your Heart and Hands’. A direct line of communication has been put in place for one-on-one networking between HFH Affiliates and garden club representatives. The more than 1,500 HFH affiliates have been made aware of the NGC and HFH partnership.

The emphasis is on enhancing the environment by landscaping with hearty native trees, shrubs, and plants that also attract butterflies. It is the hope of NGC to have the community, both adult and young gardeners, involved in this very worthy project. NGC’s goal is 100% participation, in some manner across the nation.
