HOUSTON FEDERATION OF GARDEN CLUBS

In January of 1939 Mrs. B. F. Bonner was appointed to chair the search for a permanent location for the Garden Center. She found the plot of land located in Hermann Park located between Hermann Drive and Outer Belt Drive and between Caroline Street and Jackson Street. The city did not have plans to develop this plot at this time, so she asked the Houston Park Board for this plot. Many members attended the Parks meeting to ask about this.
