History
​The first meeting of The Garden Club of Santa Barbara was held in April 1916 with annual dues set at $2.00 and a membership cap of fifty. Reading the roster of those present at the first meeting is like reading, “A Who’s Who” in Santa Barbara in the 1910s. These ladies (and seventeen gentlemen) certainly must have enjoyed their meetings in members’ homes, which were some of the finest estates in the country.
