Board Briefs is the official newsletter of the Garden Club of Georgia Board of Directors. It is published three times per year and distributed primarily via email to all garden club presidents, state and District board members and any club member who wishes to receive it. Clubs who do not have email access, receive the newsletter through the postal mail. Announcements, photographs of recent events, convention information, registration forms and promotion of upcoming activities are but some of the items included in the newsletter.

District Newsletters
Each of our seven Districts publishes a newsletter for their club members which promotes GCG programs and projects and highlights activities that are happening in the District. Individual club events are also featured. Click on the District name to link to the District page where you can access recent issues of their newsletters.
Expressions, Engagement Calendar
 Each year, GCG publishes a calendar which showcases floral designs created by very talented members throughout the state. From the applications received, a panel of Master Judges select the designs to be included in the calendar and determine who will be the "Calendar Arranger of the Year" and runner-up. Revenue raised from the sale of these calendars funds scholarships for deserving students attending Georgia colleges or universities and majoring in garden related fields. The desk size calendar or purse size are priced at $8.00 and can be ordered with this form. Each District has a Calendar Marketing Chairman who promotes sales, takes orders and distributes the calendars at the Fall District Meetings.
Garden Gateways
The official publication of the Garden Club of Georgia serves as the liaison between club members, the state, regional and national organizations. It is published quarterly and mailed to all club members. Read more >
 GEORGIA! Keep It Green and Clean
The Garden Club of Georgia produced a youth environmental education video with an anti-litter message targeting 8-10 year olds. The purpose of this video is to make students aware of litter and its consequences, instilling in them the value of reducing litter in Georgia and how they can help make Georgia a more beautiful state.

Membership Development Guides
Garden Club of Georgia has published a booklet to help garden clubs recruit more members, keep the members they have and make meetings more educational and enjoyable for all. There are also several pamphlets designed to help Club Presidents navigate the busy garden club calendar—a kind of "what to do when" brochure—that has been produced by several of the Districts. Contact Headquarters for a copy.
Oleander District has published a Program & Membership Brochure that has useful ideas for all clubs.
New Beginnings
Installation Booklets are also available from Headquarters. This helpful publication offers a number of installation ceremonies that your club may wish to use when installing new officers.
Reference Library
Garden Club of Georgia Headquarters House has a reference library for club members' use. Over 200 titles of books or booklets on floral design, horticulture, landscape architecture, etc. are available for three-week checkout. Many of these volumes were donated by the late Hallie Brown. Follow the links below for a list of available books arranged by both title and author, and a list of additional books available for in-house use only, since the condition of the books prevents them from being mailed. Contact Headquarters for mailing fee. Postage is based on weight of volumes/merchandise ordered.
Wings Over Georgia: Birds and Butterflies Quarterly
Each quarter, our Birds and Butterflies Chairman publishes a short newsletter "Wings Over Georgia" for our membership, highlighting items of interest concerning our winged friends. The newsletter is distributed via email and back issues are available here:
