The Tellico Village Garden Club meets on the top floor of the Yacht Club (elevator available). Membership is open to any area gardener. Dues are $10 per family per year. Please wear nametags. Members are encouraged to volunteer their talents and to share ideas on programs they might like presented. Members are expected to help with refreshments at one of our meetings.

Garden Club members and guests enjoy speakers each month who entertain and educate on a variety of gardening topics. There are often plants for sale, as well as plants and other materials to give away.

Garden Club funds and helps maintain 19 Tellico Village Gardens. These can be seen around the golf courses and at the entrances to Village Neighborhoods. Call Mitzi Caldwell, (865) 458-9612, for more information.

Our village gardens are partially funded by your donated aluminum cans. Please remember to recycle your aluminum cans at the Public Works Center on Davis Ferry Road or the golf cart barn in Kahite.

Garden Club Members enjoy opportunities for day trips.

Tellico Village Garden Club gives back to the community in many other ways.

• Donating to Ijams Nature Center, UT Gardens, Knoxville Botanical Gardens, WATeR, BCAAT, Anti-Litter Campaigns
• Making garden tool buckets to give to new owners of Habitat homes
• Landscaping the women-built Habitat home

Garden Club shovels are sold at our meetings. Our shovels are specially formed to deal with our clay soil and all the stones. They have wood handles and come in two lengths. The “D” handle shovel is 43 inches long and the straight handle shovel is 57 inches long, $45 each. Contact: Ann Autry, 865-408-1526.
