TEE ON Visit 
ESTG Gardens 
Upon motion duly made and carried this Resolution was referred 
to the Committee on the Preservation of Wild Flowers. 
The President asked for a report from the Committee on Visiting 
Gardens. The Chairman, Mrs. Oakleigh Thorne, of the Millbrook 
Garden Club, reported as follows: 
Report of During the month of March a letter was sent to the Presidents of 
the Commit- the Clubs asking for an expression of opinion regarding an interchange 
of the privilege of visits to the gardens of the members of the various 
Member Clubs. It was early in the season and many of the Clubs 
were scattered, and while quite a number answered, others have 
not done so as yet, preferring probably to wait until the pleasure 
of the Clubs was ascertained. However, a commencement has been 
made and the summary of the answers received is as follows: 
19 Clubs endorsed the idea, several doing so most heartily. One 
President of a very constructive and large Club favors opening every 
garden, not only the three or four most effective ones, and thinks that 
this plan would prove a great incentive to intelligent gardening. 
Another President deferred her answer for the moment, fearing 
some difference of opinion among members. 
3 Presidents reported that they would send answers later in the 
season after the Clubs had had meetings. 
7 Clubs suggested cards of admission. One Club suggested that 
the Bulletin publish in a separate pamphlet a list of all Club members 
with their garden addresses, and such description or restriction 
after the names as each member desires. 
2 Clubs approving the idea will be pleased to abide by any system 
devised by the Garden Club of America. 
Several Clubs state that their gardens are of informal character, 
but that to any members wishing to visit them in an informal way a 
welcome will be accorded upon application to the local Secretaries. 
5 Clubs send hsts of gardens open to visit, and one President 
states that her Secretary will be prepared to furnish a list of gardens. 
The President asked for a report from the Committee on Photo- 
graphs and Shdes. Mrs. Samuel Sloan, of the Philipstown Garden 
Club, Chairman of this Committee, reported as follows:
