Join Gardeners by the Sea
Gardeners by the Sea is an award-winning local garden club in the beach area of Sussex County, Delaware. We are affiliated with Delaware Federation of Garden Clubs, Inc., the seven-state Central Atlantic Region of State Garden Clubs, Inc. and National Garden Clubs, Inc.
These organizations provide a wealth of resources to local garden clubs and individual members, while respecting their autonomy to focus on their own community. As you can see from our long list of service projects, the primary focus for Gardeners by the Sea is our community, but a few of our members are active on the State, Region and National level.
We invite you to attend a Gardeners by the Sea meeting as a guest if you are considering membership.
