PHOTO GALLERY: Sarasota Garden Club 75th Flower Show

Sarasota Garden Club has a lot to celebrate about. Not only is this year is their 85th birthday but this weekend they held their 75th annual flower show. Unlike their first show in 1931, which had no theme, this year's theme was Diamond Jubilee. The show was a combination of mid-century and modern floral designs. Neighboring garden club members entered as well, bringing the Sarasota-Manatee community closer. The Sarasota Garden Club supports community projects such as scholarships. The club promotes gardening, horticulture, teaching environmental and ecological conversation and the beautification of the community.
