Susan Frenzel, President 2023-2025
Gardening-Past, Present, and Future
I am humbled and honored to serve as your SGC President. As a relative newcomer, I decided to spend some time reading about SGC history and as a result developed a stronger sense of pride in being part of a group that has done so much amazing work for the community. Equally impressive are the bonds of friendship that were created in the process. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of this dynamic group?
As I read about SGC history, I was struck by the fact that our 50th anniversary will be here in 2025. With that in mind, I plan to use the next two years to showcase past SGC projects and the members who made them possible. As we continue to enjoy our ongoing projects, I am excited that in the not-too-distant future, the diorama as the Donaldson Bannister Farm, our newest project, will be completed. The friendships new and old that we create and strengthen as we work together on our many projects make all we do even more valuable.
Looking further into the future, SGC should explore opportunities to share and grow the love of gardening and the natural world in a new generation of gardeners. Why not? We are all enriched when we see our work together as a continuum of “gardening-past present, and future.”

Spalding Garden Club
Creates Xeriscape garden
Spalding Garden Club took the proceeds of our Candlelight Christmas Tour in 2015 and created a beautiful enhancement to the community post office by planting a xeriscape garden and improving a much needed area of our city (see before and after photos at this link). With the proceeds of our 2017 tour we planted a Native Garden at the Dunwoody Nature Center, along with funding for a walkway to connect several buildings on their campus. Spalding Garden Club continues to maintain the Post Office garden, receiving new enhancements in 2023.
