The Michigan Garden Clubs was formed in 1931 as an organization of separate Michigan gardening groups. The record group includes administrative and historical files, activities files, awards, correspondence, yearbooks, and photographs.

The records of the Michigan Garden Clubs are a synthesis of the collections kept by individual members of the organization over time. The structure of the finding aid reflects this in that several topics such as Meeting Minutes, Correspondence, and Newsletters, appear in multiple series of the collection. The record group is divided into eight series: Administration; Activities; Landscape Design Critics Council; Gardening Consultants Council; Ruth Knott files; Awards, Loda Lake Nature Preserve, Yearbooks, and 2017 accessions.
