A 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Council was formed in the early 1950's when 22 Garden Clubs and Plant Societies joined forces to offer education and services beyond the resources of the individual clubs. Out of this cooperation came The Albuquerque Garden Center, located at 10120 Lomas Blvd. NE in the Los Altos Park. Built in 1975 with funds raised through the efforts of members, local businesses and the County of Bernalillo.

Beautiful Gardens, Floral Displays
Each year we invite artists to participate in the gardens during the Parade of Gardens. This year we have asked talented Floral Artists to create a display around a theme. Each garden will have two or three of these spectacular displays. We invite the public to vote on their favorite.
This year's featured artists are:
From High Desert Design Club displays are created by Carolyn Bucklen, Jacque Shipers, Maple Levine, Catie Glover, Jewel Cutter, Kathleen Flanders, Leude Olson, Beth Schneider, Shirley Tereault, and Mary Noskin. From Ikebana International displays are created by Trude Meyer, Yayoi Tanida, Royalene McDonald.
Beautiful Gardens, Lovely Music
This is one of the premier events in Albuquerque--a chance to see five estate-sized private gardens. They include: a very contemporary house & garden; a traditional hacienda style; a forester’s forest garden; a habitat garden for wildlife; a garden built around courtyards and views; and a charming garden in a natural setting.
Musicians Featured in the Gardens---for the past few years,
the Parade of Gardens has been fortunate to add
the ambiance of music to the glory of amazing gardens.
Musicians graciously bring a special touch to nature’s visual vibrance. We are delighted to offer a few musicians again this year.
