Serving the City of Tomball
and surrounding areas
SINCE 1956
About Us
Tomball Garden Club was founded by 22 members of the Tomball Community on October 23, 1956. Most were without previous experience in gardening and horticulture, but had the wish to beautify their homes, yards, and community.
The Tomball Garden Club has continued to maintain the goal of providing horticultural knowledge to club members, provide assistance to local community gardens and to participate in community projects. The club celebrates its 70th anniversary in 2026 with new traditions - annual caladium and poinsettia sales. Fundraisers enable special project like the recently updated sign at 4 Corners of Tomball.
Tomball Garden Club is a proud member of the following organizations:
Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce
National Garden Clubs
South Central Region of National Garden Clubs
Texas Garden Clubs, Inc.
District IV, Texas Garden Clubs, Inc
Houston Federation of Garden Clubs
