Marker Text:
Garden clubs have been popular for women interested in gardening and landscape design. The clubs have also successfully advanced such statewide efforts as conservation, highway beautification, wildflower protection, community landscape and garden therapy. The Texas Federation of Garden Clubs (later Texas Garden Clubs, Inc.) formed in 1929 and was a founding member of National Garden Clubs, Inc. Robert Woltz, Jr. designed the group's headquarters in 1959. The one-story ranch style building features an elongated form, low-pitched roof with overhanging eaves, a sandstone and redwood exterior, and open interior spaces.
