About Us
Message from our President:
Silvis Garden Club is beginning its 24th year. Many things have changed in those years. From a small group of 12 we now have over 65 members from all over the Quad Cities. We are a non-profit, 501c3 organization. The club works with the City of Silvis. Our volunteer efforts have helped Silvis in winning the governor's Home Town Award for two straight years.
At our monthly meetings, we learn about various topics from master gardeners, other speakers, and share ideas.
We have built and operate a state-of-the-art greenhouse where we grow vegetables and flowers. We offer what we have grown for sale to the public during the month of May. Some of our plants are used for beautifying city spots. We also plant the city pots on 1st Ave, Silvis
Most of all, we have fun! Please join us.
