In February of 2026, our club was once again represented at the Saint Louis Art Museum’s annual Art in Bloom event.
Three of our members created a floral interpretation of the ceramic pottery piece Casa Grandes Vessel with Painted Motif. Using a spherical cane structure and layered floral elements, they echoed the interplay between human order and the natural world reflected in the original ceramic design.

GCSL members lent a hand harvesting produce - including 36 pounds of mustard greens - for the EarthDance Organic Farm School's "Pay What You Can Farm Stand" in the 2025 season. This cutting-edge initiative has become not only a source of affordable fresh food but also a community hub that has strengthened the surrounding neighborhoods. In addition to receiving a GCSL Green Grant, EarthDance was awarded the Garden Club of America's Common Ground Collaboration Grant in 2025, thanks in part to the GCSL's recommendation.
