"Beautifying DeLand One Seed at a Time"

The Garden Club of DeLand gathers two times a year to plant 68 container gardens, 16 of these are pedestals.   One Saturday out of each month, a group of volunteers "The Downtown Planters" from the Garden Club meet to weed, tweak, and evaluate the condition of each container garden. All month long, as time allows, each Garden Club Circle checks on their assigned containers and reports issues to the chair.

Throughout the Year the Sensory Garden is maintained by Garden Club Circles to attract pollinators and wildlife. All 5 senses are engaged when you walk through our garden. This has been an ongoing project of the Garden Club forever 20 years. Rededicated May 5, 2018   Located at: Bill Dreggors Park,  230 N. Stone Street, DeLand Florida.  Go to Calendar of Events page to see the next work date.

You can rent the Garden Club Clubhouse for your Party or Meeting.

Butterfly Garden Certification

To date, over 130 gardens in the city of DeLand have been certified as Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Gardens. Maybe you have seen those signs around town?

We are continuing to certifying Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Gardens, for details on how you can have your garden certified, download the form below.

Nearly 1,000,000,000 monarch butterflies have vanished since 1990 according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. To help combat this problem, DeLand became part of Monarch City USA on February 5, 2018. Our shared purpose is to encourage municipalities to directly help the monarch butterfly population recover. 

In conjunction, 

The Garden Club of DeLand, is encouraging gardens of all sizes to become butterfly garden sanctuaries with an emphasis on our monarch population. Only applicants with a DeLand zip code are eligible. 

Plan your garden or add to your existing garden. To register, you must have a minimum of twenty (20) nectar and host/larval food plants total. Plant a total of three (3) different host/larval food plants which includes a minimum of five (5) milkweed plants as they are the primary host plants for the monarchs.

Plant a minimum of five (5) different butterfly nectar plants as food sources. The brighter the color, the more butterflies will visit. Submit your application. pdf below

We are certifying Gardens in DeLand. Members that do not live in DeLand may have their Gardens Certified.

The Butterfly Squad calls you once your application has been reviewed. They set up a time to stroll through your garden and certify it. You have the option of buying the yellow sign to proudly display in your garden.

How long before the Butterfly Squad Contacts us?

It doesn't take long unless there are a great many applications.
