Membership

Garden Club by the Sea (GCBS) was organized and federated in 1964. Our club objectives are beautification, conservation, and education.  Membership is open to beachside residents who live between the Eau Gallie Causeway and the southern boundary of Melbourne Beach, Florida.  Board meetings are on the second Monday of each month at 1:00 p.m. General meetings are the third Wednesday at 9:30 a.m. and take place in our members’ homes and include a time of socializing, an exciting educational program and a business meeting.
