The Seal of The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton

The center of our club seal is the Peltandra virginica (or Tuckahoe arum) which early settlers found growing along the Tuckahoe Creek. The starchy corms from which the plant grows were roasted and eaten by the Indians in this area of Virginia. Their name for the plant was "tockawhough." When The Tuckahoe Garden Club of Westhampton was founded in 1928, it took its name from the political district of Tuckahoe, Henrico County, and the area, Westhampton, in which the members resided. This area was annexed by Richmond in 1942. The wreath which encircles the Tuckahoe includes daffodils. The seal was designed and drawn by Tuckahoe Garden Club member, Brantley Bolling Knowles (Mrs. Peter I. C. Knowles II) in 1975.
