The Garden Club of Princeton

Founded in 1911

Founded in 1911, The Garden Club of Princeton is a charter member of The Garden Club of America, which was established two years later. The GCP's mission is to promote the knowledge and love of gardening; to support the activities initiated by The Garden Club of America; and to restore, improve, and protect the quality of our environment and the Princeton community. The Garden Club of Princeton is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

We work to enrich our community through conservation, civic projects, and service. Our civic projects include:


Billy Johnson Mountains Lakes Nature Preserve

All Wars Memorial Park

Marquand Park Trees

Butterfly Highway

Y.M.C.A. Garden

Meals on Wheels



Our History

our community  

An annual tradition, GCP delivered almost 300 holiday arrangements to Meals on Wheels of Mercer County.

The Garden Club of Princeton is proud to partner with our community on different projects that boost the environmental health of the surrounding area. Our members are active in the climate change space and the restoration of different Princeton parks and nature preserves. 


Most recently, we are excited to support and participate in restoration of Princeton's Monument Park Garden.


In 2022, The Garden Club of Princeton secured two generous grants to help with an eighteen-acre forest restoration project at Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve.
