The Blue Star Memorial Highway program is an American garden club project to honor American military service members and veterans through plantings and markers adjacent to designated highways. The program was started in 1944 by the New Jersey Council of Garden Clubs to honor World War II service members and was adopted nationally in 1945 by the National Council of State Garden Clubs. It now honors service members of all time periods.^[1] This garden and marker are located in Oregon.

A garden club is an organized group of people with a shared interest in gardening, gardens, and plants. A flower club is a similar group with a focus on flowers.
