The Hunting Creek Garden Club in Alexandria

 The Hunting Creek Garden Club in Alexandria, Virginia, was established in 1943 with the mission of promoting interest in civic planning, amateur gardening, and to aid in the protection of native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and birds. 

Through years of community and member support, the Club has participated in conservation and beautification projects within or around Alexandria, including  Ramsey House (Alexandria’s Visitor Center), Alexandria Hospital, Lee-Fendall House, Huntley Meadows Park, Carlyle House, The Athenaeum, Community Lodgings Children’s Produce Garden, Green Springs Garden, restoration of the Stabler-Leadbetter Apothecary in Alexandria, Mason Neck State Park, and, most recently, has gifted a native plant garden to the grounds of the Pope-Leighey House, and a garden to the courtyard at Carpenter's Shelter.

The Hunting Creek Garden Club has also supported Alexandria City High School students with the granting of college scholarship funds to a number of students seeking higher education in the fields of horticulture, environmental conservation and landscape architecture.

Every year, in April, Hunting Creek Garden Club, along with the Garden Club of Alexandria, hosts the Historic Garden Week home tour in Old Town Alexandria. Proceeds from this tour fund the restoration and preservation of Virginia's historic public gardens, and provide graduate level research fellowships across the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Today the club is comprised of women who are dedicated to furthering its mission of conservation and preservation, and who still delight in flower arranging and gardening.  Arrangers representing Hunting Creek Garden Club for Art in Bloom are Dottie Hawkins, Kim Griffith, and Melissa Sigler.
