Who We Are

The Capitol Hill Garden Club brings together Washington area people interested in gardening, landscaping and the environment. Members enjoy lectures, demonstrations, workshops and tours.

We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation. We undertake community projects and contribute to garden and beautification projects in our neighborhood. The club donates spring flowering bulbs to groups and individuals for planting in public areas on Capitol Hill. Our income comes from selling spring flowering bulbs at Eastern Market every autumn, and from membership dues.

We are a member of National Garden Clubs, Inc., and District I of National Capital Area Garden Clubs, Inc.

Thirty Nine Years at Eastern Market

Since 1972, on six or seven Saturdays each fall, the Capitol Hill Garden Club has sold spring-flowering bulbs on the sidewalk market at historic Eastern Market. Along with one or two farmers, we are the longest continuous outdoor vendors at Eastern Market. The annual bulb sale not only raises funds for club programs and activities, but engages the community in horticulture, neighborhood beautification and club membership.
