The Peoria Garden Club was originally formed in 1924 but was discontinued for 6 years during World War II (from 1944 to 1950). The members filed for Incorporation of their club in 1964. That Incorporation was amended in 1990 to indicate the club had applied to the IRS for a 501(c)3 non-profit status.
Once the club achieved that status, any funds earned were dedicated to specific uses which include Education about Gardening, Preservations/Conservation of Natural Resources, and City Beautification and Advancement of Gardening.

The Peoria Garden Club formed the Monarch Task Force in January of 2015. As a subgroup of Peoria Garden Club, their goal is to work with Illinois Garden Clubs, schools, businesses, and other organizations to inform the public about the Monarch Butterfly's usefulness, remarkable life history, and need for support.
The group has strived to increase the local Monarch population by working with members of our community to plant more milkweed. The task force is represented at Clean Water Celebration and Earth Day.
