Highlands Plateau Audubon Society
Dedicated to the enjoyment and protection
of birds and their environment
Founded in 1996
The Mountain Garden Club has been serving Highlands, NC since 1979. The purpose of the club is to aid in the protection and conservation of natural resources, encourage civic beauty and roadside beautification, stimulate the study of the fine art of gardening, and cooperate with other agencies furthering the interest of horticulture and conservation.
The Mountain Garden Club is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc, South Atlantic Region and The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc, District 1. The Mountain Garden Club meets monthly in members' homes or churches.
Each spring Mountain Garden Club members dig and pot hundreds of mountain-hardy plants for the club's major fundraiser, a plant sale held on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. This popular event generates money for college scholarships, conservation and educational projects, and community gardens including two gardens the club created and maintains-the butterfly garden at Highlands School and the Wertzler Memorial Garden at Town Hall.
The 27th Annual Mountain Garden Club Plant Sale will be Saturday, May 23, 9am to 1pm, at the baseball park on Highway 64 E.
