Celebrating 75 Years

Beverley Hills Garden Club will be celebrating its 75th year of existence throughout the 2024-2025 year. Who knew that the actions of 19 women of the Beverley Hills, Alexandria, VA community in 1950 would spawn a movement that is 75 years old and thriving?

This upcoming year is a time to remember our past, celebrate our accomplishments, value our members, and contemplate the future. In the past 75 years, BHGC has designed, arranged, studied, judged, planted, organized, and led at the club, regional, and state level. We have served our community, won national awards, and supported members who served at the state and national level. Perhaps even more importantly though, we have become a community of wonderful, caring friends who encourage, support, and cherish each other.

We will celebrate this year internally at our November meeting, with a BHGC history program and a luncheon for current members and invited guests. We will add an 75th anniversary community service project to our events this winter when we assist children at Carpenter’s Shelter in making bouquets for a family member. And finally, we will celebrate in May with a standard flower show and cocktail party at River Farm. We hope many of our District and State friends will join us for our May celebration.

The 2024-2025 year will be an exciting one for Beverley Hills Garden Club. I am so honored to be along for the journey.

Best wishes and congratulations to all members of Beverley Hills Garden Club – past, present, and future.

Most Sincerely,
Candace Beane, President
