Member Spotlight

The Memphis Garden Club recognizes the accomplishments of its outstanding members that exemplify the Garden Club of America’s mission.

The Church Health Center presented the Charles Freeburg Award for dedication and service at the Church Health Center to Barton Lynch.

Memphis Garden Club collaborated with Church Health, Big Green Educational Projects and the UT Health Sciences Rehabilitation at Crosstown Concourse to develop garden beds for food and wellness support. In 2024, Memphis Garden Club was a finalist for Garden Club of America’s Founder Fund and received funds to build the Founder’s Fund Church Health Pavilion at the garden. This charge was led by Memphis Garden Club member, Barton Lynch.

In March of 2025, members of the Memphis Garden Club, Church Health Directors and Staff and Crosstown Directors met to dedicate the new Church Health Garden Pavilion. Barton's hard work made this possible. Please join us in celebrating her continued efforts to make Church Health Center a place for our community to enjoy.
