Basic Information  

What is my club rating? 

The club rating system is used within Texas Garden Clubs--it is not recognized by National Garden Clubs.  Club ratings measure the quantity and quality of a club’s projects and activities. 

There are only two requirements for garden clubs to be members of Texas Garden Clubs, Inc.: 
1.        Hold regular meetings
2.        Pay state dues

Green and Bronze rated clubs do not have to make a special application for their respective ratings. 

A Green club has no special requirements beyond TGC membership. 

A Bronze club must hold at least seven programs annually; have one authoritative speaker annually; publish a yearbook; have bylaws; and have annual informative display open to guests. 

To be a Silver or Gold rated club, the club must meet the requirements set forth in the TGC Awards Brochure 2007 and make application every year.
