EAGLE LAKE - The Eagle Lake Noon Lions Club learned that civic clubs like the first Eagle Lake Garden Club were organized in 1935. The current Community Garden Guild of Eagle Lake, formed in 1985, focuses on providing volunteer services to maintain, restore, and improve the gardens, trees, and grounds in Eagle Lake and stimulating interest in gardening by providing educational programs and local civic events.
The Community Garden Guild is responsible for the landscaping and maintaining beds at City Hall, the gazebo by the swimming pool, Harrison Park near the Dairy Queen, and The Point across from Bucees. Their major fundraiser is the Christmas Homes Tour, held every two years and features four homes, a local church and a Tea Room.
The Community Garden Guild of Eagle Lake Christmas Tour is on Dec. 6.
