The Gardeners of America/Men's Garden Clubs of America (TGOA/MGCA) is a national organization with 36 affiliated garden clubs located in 14 states (2015) across the United States. The organization is also known as Gardeners of America (TGOA) or Men’s Garden Clubs of America (MGCA). It has its headquarters in Johnston, Iowa, a business suburb of Des Moines. It is a non-profit organization incorporated in the state of Illinois, and registered with the IRS as a 501(c)3 non-profit group. Most clubs include men and women members,〔(Spartanburg Herald-Journal, ''Men's Garden Clubs leader likes what she sees'', November 4, 2003. ) Retrieved 4/15/2012.〕 and concentrate on gardening education (for members and nonmembers), and community beautification and enhancement. At one time the organization had about 10,000 members.〔Pittman, E. Henry. ''And the Trees Remain''. The Spartanburg Men's Garden Club, 2010, ISBN 978-0-615-38818-2, p. 111.〕 == History == The Men's Garden Clubs of America organization was founded in 1932, and grew rapidly as a unique organization of male gardeners. By 1993 the organization had grown greatly, and the bylaws were changed. The organization became The Gardeners of America with two divisions: The Gardeners of America and Men’s Garden Clubs of America.〔(More on organization history. )〕 While local clubs may feel more closely affiliated with one division, all are members of TGOA/MGCA. Today many clubs include both men and women, although some all-male clubs still exist.
