| | | | Creator: | Better Gardens Club | | | | Dates: | 1926-2005 | | | | Abstract: | The Better Gardens Club was a Jewish women's gardening organization originally affiliated with The Temple-Tifereth Israel in Cleveland, Ohio. The Better Gardens Club was established in November 1926 by 12 members of the Temple Women's Association as The Temple Garden Club. Providing the congregation of The Temple with fresh altar flowers and participating in local flower shows were among the group's activities. In 1931 the group became part of the Garden Club of Greater Cleveland and the Garden Club of Ohio. By 1938 the group had changed its name to Better Gardens Club. The Better Gardens Club sponsored garden and flower shows, winning several awards. The group also contributed to the community by designing, creating, and distributing displays of flowers for many local agencies, including Menorah Park Center for the Aging. The collection consists of agendas, applications, ledgers, lists, minutes, newspaper clippings, programs, rosters, scrapbooks, and speech texts. | | | | Call #: | MS 5159 | | | | Extent: | 0.60 linear feet (2 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Better Gardens Club (Cleveland, Ohio) | Cleveland Cultural Gardens (Cleveland, Ohio) | Gardening -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies, etc. | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland -- Societies and clubs. | Jewish women -- Ohio -- Cleveland.
