The Marathon Garden Club was organized in 1955 by a group of civic-minded residents who wanted to help improve the appearance of the area. In addition to its community involvement, the club encourages members to improve the gardens and landscaping of their own homes and neighborhoods. Classes are taught by local experts on topics such as floral arrangements, landscape design, conservation, and orchid growing. In addition to ongoing plant sales, the group hosts a Jamboree in January.
Plant Nursery
The plant nursery, located at the Garden Club, is now open every Thursday morning, 9 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for sales. We have a wide selection of plants and small trees that we have grown in the nursery. Come by and check us out and browse the gardens. Our Master Gardeners are hard at work keeping the gardens looking great. They are available to answer your questions or help you choose the perfect plant(s) for your garden.
