The Oakwood Garden Club was formed in 1950 and has the distinguished honor of being Raleigh's oldest garden club. The club was formed by Oakwood residents interested in increasing their knowledge of gardening and beatifying the neighborhood. The garden club founded and maintains the Vallie Henderson park, awards Yard of the Month to residences of note and hosts an annual garden tour and bake sale. Many of our monthly meetings include guest lecturers who speak on topics of interest. Meeting are held at members houses the first Thursday of the month. All in the neighborhood are invited.
