District IV and Umbrella Organizations
District IV of the Florida Federation of Garden Clubs (FFGC) is comprised of FFGC-affiliated clubs in the northeastern part of Florida. These include clubs in Baker, Bradford, Union, Nassau, Duval, Clay, St. Johns, and Putnam counties. See the Member Clubs page for more information on these clubs. See the Leadership Directory for a list of District IV officers and committee chairs and for the list of past District IV Directors.
District IV membership dues of $1 per member are requested annually. Your club's treasurer should send membership payments to the District IV Treasurer when FFGC membership payments are made. The District IV Treasurer's contact info is in the Leadership Directory section.
There are thirteen Districts comprising FFGC garden clubs state-wide. The Florida Federation of Garden Clubs, is part of the Deep South Region of Garden Clubs under the National Garden Clubs (see organizational chart below).
The Leadership Directory contains an overview of each of these umbrella organizations including headquarters location, contact info, website and Facebook pages as well as officers and chairmen.
