The Colorado Federation of Garden Clubs was born from a vision shared by Denver landscape architect Mr. S. R. DeBoer, who believed that “beautiful cities were created by interested garden club members.” Inspired by this idea, Mrs. A. G. Fish pioneered the organization of garden clubs across Colorado.
On January 21, 1930, a meeting was held at the Daniels Fisher Tearoom, where plans were made to formally organize in Colorado Springs that May. At that historic gathering, the Colorado Federation of Garden Clubs officially came into being, and Mrs. Fish was elected as the first state president, a role she held until 1936.
Under her guidance and inspiration:
- Numerous garden clubs were founded across the state.
- The Federation joined the National Council of State Garden Clubs (now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc.) in 1933, marking its place on the national stage.
