Who We Are - Hillcrest Garden Club
The organization was established in 2009 for the purpose of increasing our knowledge of gardening, horticulture practices and conservation, as well as engaging in civic improvement projects. Meetings convene at Hillcrest Hall, 1501 Kavanaugh Blvd., Little Rock, AR at 4:00 pm on the 4th Sunday of February through October and welcome new members at every level. The Hillcrest Garden Club maintains membership in the Arkansas Federation of Garden Clubs and joins with the Hillcrest Merchants Association and the Hillcrest Residents Association in working on and developing projects for the improvement of the neighborhood.

WHY?
Hillcrest has always been a neighborhood proud of its natural beauty. From the shade of giant oaks, to explosions of spring flowers, to pollinator, window box and backyard edible gardens, you can find it here. Whether you enjoy a family stroll or a brisk run through the park, Hillcrest welcomes you. And if you don't mind a little dirt, there's a place for you to assist with tree planting, maintenance of sidewalk planters and pollinator sites or park cleanup with friends.
