Following the custom of planting a tree each year to commemorate Arbor Day, the committee selects and plants one or more trees in a public area in Kingwood; plans and executes a program in Kingwood, invites guests and provides suitable publicity to create interest in and alert the public to the importance of trees in our lives.

The Kingwood Garden Club periodically presents a standard flower show to showcase members' horticultural and floral arranging talents.

After many years of garden tours for our members, the club hosted its first garden tour that was open to the public. It was a fund raising event and included neighboring yards to tour. Gardens were highlighted with vignettes featuring fresh floral designs. The tour included a plant sale, a raffle, a door prize and a question and answer table manned by our knowledgeable members, many of whom are master gardeners. The event will be held bi-annually.

In 2001, the Garden Club, in cooperation with a local conservation organization, held its first tree sale. Native trees were obtained at wholesale prices and sold to Kingwood residents at cost. The purpose of the event was to encourage homeowners to replace some of the trees that were lost to construction and natural attrition. In addition each buyer was provided with information about their tree, as well as planting instructions and care of trees in general. To date 6052 trees have been sold. 897 of these were planted on medians, greenbelts and bike trails.

This is an opportunity for Garden Club members to share their plants and knowledge with the community. The idea behind this day is simple: members of the Kingwood community are invited to come and trade any of their plants for ones from the Garden Club. All types of plants may be used, from shrubs to trees, annuals and perennials, cuttings to seeds, and even houseplants. This is a great time to share with neighbors a plant that has grown beyond its original boundary. Additionally, participants are welcome to share and discuss any gardening matters with one of our Garden Club experts. We encourage all Club members to start early with their cuttings and potting of plants, and be part of this fun day.
