A Historical Summary
Early Years
The GCBB was founded in 1930, with twenty-nine members, five of whom were men. We were admitted to the Garden Club of America (GCA) in 1935, having been proposed by the Cohasset GC, and the Chestnut Hill GC. The early years were spent entering Boston Flower Shows, sponsoring Billboard Law defense work, decorating window boxes for town buildings, hosting meetings and flower shows in private homes.
