Hill and Dale District Garden Clubs

The Hill and Dale District of Garden Clubs is represented by eight garden clubs in Pierce County. "In 1975 it was decided that clubs east of Tacoma would become their own district. We named ourselves Hill and Dale District because we covered the valley and foothills of the Cascades. Twenty-four garden clubs left the Capital District to form the Hill & Dale District of Washington State Federations of Garden Clubs, and then became the sponsor organization for the fairs Floral Building." For more historical information click on the Fair's History and Archive page.
