Over 110 Years in Lake Forest The Lake Forest Garden Club was founded in 1912 by a handful of forwardthinking women as a volunteer organization dedicated to horticulture and conservation. In 1913 the Lake Forest Garden Club became one of twelve founding members of the Garden Club of America. From its earliest years the Lake Forest Garden Club and its members have worked to promote the understanding of the interdependence of horticulture environmental protection and community improvement. The House Garden Walk features a tour of four historic Lake Forest properties offered by members of the Lake Forest Garden Club.
