The Jumping Juniper Garden Club was organized in 1973 and became an affliliate member of the Montana Federation of Garden Clubs in 1974. Club activities vary greatly, from attending the State Convention each year to a gardening-related program at our monthly meetings. We try to rely on the God-given talents of Club members for programs as well as those special talents found in our surrounding community.


Club members volunteer on several community projects: planting and maintaining Main Street flower barrels, offering adults and youth special-interest programs at our Blaine County Fair as well as judging flowers, maintenance of the Post Office garden and the Senior Center, remembering the people in the Sweet Nursing Home with a special activity, and much more. Two especially fun programs continue to be the Yard of the Week and judging the beet "dress-up" contest at the Sugarbeet Festival. We also sponsor a Junior Gardener program.

We welcome new members. If you feel you have no expertise, but have an inclination toward flowers and gardening, we are the organization for you! Frequent field trips to see and learn about horticulture bond our members into a special sisterhood. Please contact our President, Lynne Mahan, for more information about joining and about the next meeting. See more pictures from our Club's community activities below.

The plantings along one of the major thoroughfares and Senior Center appear above. Below are some of the beautiful business district barrel plantings and gardens toured during the summer.

All-in-all, we have fun and enhance our lives through learning about gardening.
Come join us! Call Lynne at 357-2880.
