Florida Arbor Day Celebration
Bartram Garden Club’s Florida Arbor Day Celebration was a resounding success as we participated in the planting of a large tree at the entrance of Fort Clinch in Fernandian Beach. We had a great turnout from both the community and our members. Special recognition was given to FFGC for 100 years of service. Our 100 Live Oak seedlings give-away not only supplied trees to support our maritime forest, but gave us the opportunity to remind all about the important role trees play in our daily lives. Pictured above are some of the Club members who attended the celebration.

Wild Amelia Nature Festival
The Bartram Garden Club had a booth at the 2023 Wild Amelia Nature Festival in Fernandina Beach, FL. The festival celebrated the bioregion of Nassau County, FL with a host of vendors featuring environmentally-based information, products and services. The purpose was to introduce visitors to the magic of our amazing natural treasures. The club’s booth featured information on our environmental support programs and how a Federated Garden Club enhances the community.
