Cleveland Museum of Natural History

In 1959 GCC created the Native Ohio Wildflower Garden at the Museum and continues to support this with funds, material and labor. Annual collecting of wild flowers continued for 20 years. As time went on, we no longer collected from members' woodlands but stared a salvage operation. Under the direction of Museum botanists and with developers' permission, we salvaged material before the bulldozers arrive at future building sites.

As the years progressed, Museum's desire to increase total environmental understanding meant the addition of an enclosure containing native birds and animals that lived in the same habitat. The name was changed to The Perkins Wildlife Center and Woods Garden. Polls show that this has become the favorite visiting area of all museum members. Now in the new century, the total area is undergoing renovation. The GCC is also renewing its efforts with annual salvage operations and continuing financial support.
​The Garden Club of Cleveland is a  501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization and a member of the Garden Club of America.
