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.
