The Wisteria Alliance Program prepares
women to own and operate their own farms and other agricultural based
businesses. It began in 2012 as a pilot program aimed at providing practical,
hands-on training for women who live on farms, and those whose interest lie in
starting a farm, and/or urban or community garden.
The Flower Lovers’ Garden Guild begin
on November 20, 1953 with a group of women gathering to organize a club that
would enable them to learn more about flowers, to exchange ideas about their
culture and to fellowship. In March 1954, the women decided to call the club
the “Town and Country Garden Club.” In October 1956, the name of the club was
changed to the “Flower Lovers’ Garden Guild.” Its focus is the beautification
of the community and homes with flowers and plants.
