Pasadena Garden Club Centennial Celebration 1916-2016
The Pasadena Garden Club will commemorate its 100th anniversary with a
special Garden Show at Central Library. Throughout its 100-year history, the
club has been a close friend of the Pasadena Public Library, even donating
funds for the purchase of 100 books to start the Library’s horticulture
collection. In commemoration of its 100th anniversary, the Club is once
again providing generous funding, this time for a landscaping project for
the library’s gardens. In return, the Library is proud to host the Club’s
