Black Hills District of Garden Clubs
WELCOME
Hello! I'm Debbie Spiller, your District Director for 2025-2027. I joined my first garden club in 1998, and I found being a member of a garden club to be very fulfilling. Through the years, I've learned so much about gardening, floral design, support of our community and have held positions on the Board of the Washington State Federation of Garden Clubs.
​
My theme for this term is "Gardening is an Act of Hope." As I embark on this journey, I'm excited about launching positive initiatives for our District Garden Clubs and keeping our district lively while increasing awareness of our clubs and communities.
Please click on our District Newsletter "The Bugle" below to learn about our garden club activities!

Here’s a recommended reading list from our President, Debbie Spiller, on wildfire preparedness—key reminders for any disaster! Click HERE to access the latest "WACONIAH" Newsletter by the Pacific Region of Garden Clubs, which includes an article on wildfire preparedness pages 16-19.
Additionally, refer to this Step-by-Step Guide, prepared by the WA Dept of Natural Resources on planting "fire-resistant plants" in Washington. Keep in mind, Fire-Resistant does not mean Fireproof!
WSFGC TAGLINE CONTEST!
The new WSFGC Marketing & Outreach Committee invites WSFGC members from across the state to participate in a "Tagline" contest.
Although the WSFGC Mission Statement is significant, it's a bit lengthy to include on outreach materials. The Committee is seeking a short 3–5 word "tagline" that can accompany the WSFGC logo in printed publications, media, banners, business cards and other outreach materials for the WSFGC Garden Clubs and Districts to use.
Click HERE to learn more for the need of a "tagline", contest rules, and contest prize!
We hope to receive plenty of responses by May 1, 2026.
