Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Flora Garden Club of Manchester, Iowa records date from 1950 to 2002 and measure 8 linear inches. The records include notebooks the club maintained for flower shows.

The notebooks recorded participants, their entries and whether or not they won or placed in the competitions. The records also include newspaper articles about the club's activities; a program planning book issued by the National Council of State Garden Clubs, Incorporated; program books spanning the years 1957-2002 listing the programs for each meeting; and secretary-treasurer records for 1950-1963 and 1976-1999.

The scrapbook covers the period 1949-1951 and includes photographs. The club decided to disband in 2004 due to declining numbers and a lack of younger membership.
