The Fort Myers-Lee County Garden Council, Inc. was created in 1957 as the Fort Myers Garden Council by 9 local clubs and societies joining together. In 1967 it was renamed the Fort Myers – Lee County Garden Council as its membership had far outgrown the city limits. The Council now consists of over 18 garden clubs, 9 plant societies and 2 affiliates totaling over 1530 members. In 2007 the Council moved to its current headquarters, made possible by a long-term lease from the City of Fort Myers. The Berne Davis Gardens and Mina Edison Botanical Library are housed on the premises.
