Join a Circle
The Garden Club of St. Augustine is made up of eight Circles, each with its own unique flower and personality. Circles meet once a month at various times, giving you the flexibility to choose a group that fits your schedule.
The earliest circles in St. Augustine were the Iris and Cherokee circles. The club expanded with the addition of the oldest continuous circles, Hibiscus and Las Adelfas, established in 1939. Following World War II, the Camellia Circle was founded in 1947, accommodating young mothers who attended meetings with their children. The Northeast-based Amaryllis Circle joined in 1949, followed by the Gaillardia Circle in 1950 from the Vilano Beach area.
We encourage prospective members to visit any Circle meeting — or even several—to find the right fit. No matter which Circle you attend, you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome and friendly faces.
You’ll build friendships, share ideas, and grow alongside others who care about making a difference.
Join us today and help us grow a greener, more beautiful community!
