Meets Third Tuesday - 6:00 pm 

Circle Co-Presidents: Dr. Carol Grigas & Suzanne Locke 

Established  in 2010, Firecracker Circle meets in the evenings. We are cross  generational from those with children and still working to retirees. We  have members in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and counting, and we meet in each  other’s homes to promote a relaxed social atmosphere and to keep up with  what’s happening in members' gardens and to advise on any challenges.  The evening consists of a gardening-related program, a brief business meeting, and a light supper. Firecrackers take the lead in the planning, planting and maintenance of DeLand’s much admired Downtown Planters.  The  circle also donates to SEEK, an environmental camp for high schoolers,  and WEKIVA, a camp for elementary students, and to Pennies4Pines and  Habitat for Humanity in DeLand.   If you’re fired up about gardening, BEE 🐝 sure to visit the Firecrackers!

Meets second Friday after the General Membership Meeting at 12 pm

The Marigold Circle was founded on April 5, 1980.  This adventurous small circle meets on the second Tuesday of the month at 10:00 am.  We enjoy exploring the many gardens and garden centers throughout our community and beyond.  Visiting gardens of members, from patio gardens to expansive yards, we learn diversity in planting ideas.   Adventures are followed by lunch and good conversation.  You will find us demonstrating our civic pride in DeLand by working on the Downtown Planters.  We plant for enjoyment, fresh food, pollinators and wildlife.  New members are welcomed.

The objective of this Circle shall be to promote an interest in gardening to attract and increase the population of the Monarchs, local butterflies, moths and other pollinators by encouraging the planting of Milkweed and other host and nectar plants; to learn about butterflies, moths and other pollinators in Central Florida; and to raise awareness of the plight of these pollinators throughout our community. 

 Special Activities: The Milkweed Circle brings in native milkweed and makes it available to Garden Club of DeLand members and the public. MC  takes the lead in the upkeep of the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary/Sensory Butterfly Garden at Bill Dreggors Park (corner of Stone St. and Wisconsin Ave.) by having work days throughout the year. Circle members help with the planting and maintenance of the Downtown Planters that line Woodland Blvd. between Wisconsin Ave. and Howry Ave. The Butterfly Squad are members of the MC who visit gardens (home or business) that have filled out an application and meet the criteria to be certified as a Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary Garden.

The Rose Circle was one of the founding circles of the Garden Club of DeLand.  Mrs. Robert Warshall, the club’s first president, was a member of the Rose Circle.  Since then, 13 other Rose Circle members have gone on to serve as club presidents.  This circle is a very active group of ladies that have spearheaded many of the club’s projects.  Our fundraising efforts have resulted in contributions each year for scholarships for FFGC sponsored activities such as Wekiva and Seek camperships.   The Rose Circle welcomes new members.  Our meetings take place at the clubhouse, unless a field trip is planned.  Please check the calendar on this website.

 We love to garden, arrange flowers, tour gardens and enjoy the fellowship of other club members as we strive to tend the grounds of this beautiful earth. 

 Meets  Saturdays for Field Trips. Various times & places.
