River Oaks Country Club

River Oaks Garden Club, a member of The Garden Club of America since 1927, actively contributes to Houston's community in conservation, horticulture, and civic beautification. Proceeds from the Azalea Trail support projects, including the maintenance of public gardens and the Bayou Bend Collection and Gardens. The club also established the Bayou Bend Gardens Endowment, ensuring perpetual maintenance through public contributions. Hosting the annual Sadie Gwin Blackburn Environmental Seminar, the club promotes environmental education with free admission to the public.
