Snoqualmie Valley Garden Club
As a 501c3, SVGC’s mission is to inform, educate, and inspire our members and the community in the art, science, and joy of gardening, while fostering a commitment to environmental stewardship.
Blooming Beneath Blue Skies
Under the generous glow of summer, our gardens and our community are thriving. This month brings the joy of Plant Bingo, where every leaf and bloom is a chance to win, and a fascinating presentation on Medicinal & Native Plants, celebrating the healing power rooted in our Pacific Northwest soil.

Congratulations to …
… our 2026 Scholarship recipient, MAX KNUDSEN!
Max is a Senior at Mount Si High School and will be attending Washington State University this fall studying Animal Science. He is an active member of the FFA and was proud to take us to the FFA Plant Sale following the award ceremony to show off their hard work. Thanks to your support of our fundraisers and a generous matching donation from KPFF Consulting Engineers, via member Roxanne Oynes, we were able to award Max with a $3000 scholarship toward his education.
