About Us

The Second District of FGCNYS was founded in 1925 and our aims are the conservation of our natural resources, beautification of communities, world gardening, organizations of youth groups, sponsorships of new clubs, floral design and the education of the public.

We, on Long Island, are part of Federated Garden Clubs of New York State, The Central Atlantic Region of State Garden Clubs, National Garden Clubs, Inc. and are part of one of the largest volunteer gardening organizations in the world.

A Message from the Director

I want to extend a heart-felt thank you to everyone who supported our district luncheon. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.

As fall approaches, it’s a wonderful reminder to take advantage of all the opportunities our Second District offers: luncheons, flower shows, flower show schools, design workshops and the annual CAR-SGC conference. These events not only strengthen our clubs and shared mission but also provide the joy of connecting with like-minded people. Please visit our website’s Events page for details on upcoming programs.

In appreciation of our shared mission, I thank all who contributed to World Gardening. Your support helps “Water for Sudan,” an organization that provides both the equipment and training needed to bring clean water to communities in need. Access to this essential resource not only improves daily life but also allows markets, schools, churches, and clinics to grow—creating lasting opportunities for healthier, stronger communities.

I would be pleased to visit your club, meet your members and discuss how the Second District can best support your efforts.

I hope to see you soon.

Elizabeth Walsh, Second District Director
