The Lakeside Garden Guild began in September of 1968 by women who were interested in the love of gardening and floral decoration.  Over the years the  interest grew to include a total of 40 women who put their skills together in a social network and has expanded to several community projects that have helped the local people as well as beautifying the Ajijic village, Gran Plaza and streets.
