GENESIS COMMITTEE
2023-2024
MARGARET BAILEY, CHAIRMAN
Started in 1984, the Genesis Award is given to outstanding commercial landscaping to encourage businesses to keep Ponchatoula beautiful.
Over the years, the award has acknowledged the efforts of many enterprises in our city. We publish the winners in both the Ponchatoula Times and Hammond Daily Star newspapers. The winner also is shown on our Gardenettes Facebook page and shared by our members on their pages. Publicity is also shared by the City of Ponchatoula, Channel 17 Action News, Louisiana Garden Club Federation Deeds and Doings, and Gardenettes webpages.
Besides giving publicity to the recipient, the garden club creates good will in the community. Although we are a very small club, we have a big presence through our publicity program.
Yes, we always mention LGCF Inc., Deep South Garden Clubs Inc. and National Garden Clubs Inc. to spread awareness of our affiliation. We think that by promoting good landscaping, we are fostering the objectives of the LGCF and NGC.
