It has been thought about and talked about for a number of years. Whenever two or more gardening fanciers were together, they’d say, “We should start a garden club.” In 1957 Bee Bailey, Vivian Rasmussen, and Lois Hayenga decided to put those thoughts into action.

Vivian Rasmussen was elected the first president of the Sow and Grow Garden Club.
