About Edelweiss Garden Club, Inc.

Our Mission

FOUNDED 1984 – FEDERATED 1987

Club Flower: Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpine)

Edelweiss Garden Club is named to reflect the Swiss Alpine theme of our city. Founded in 1984, five residents united “to beautify the Gaylord area, meet as a group of garden lovers and chat on a weekly basis during the growing season.” The first meetings were held at Lappan’s Landscaping and Garden Center. Through fundraising and donations, our plantings continue to support the European charm downtown and throughout the city.
