PROJECTS AND HISTORY


Garden Club Projects
Community projects are an important component of garden club activities. The Garden Club plants and maintains the gardens at the Josiah Smith Tavern and Barn and the Fiske Memorial, and periodically refurbishes Case Park with the other two Weston garden clubs.  The newest project is the Ash Street traffic island, for which the Garden Club has received a grant from the National Garden Clubs. The initial planting was a Red Maple tree donated and planted by Hartney Greymont, Inc.

Civic projects, most of which received awards from the Federation, include landscaping the South Side Fire Station, the entrance to Memorial Pool and, with the other garden clubs in town, the Police Station on Route 20.

Garden Club History
The Community League Garden Club was founded in 1954 by members of the League, as the Garden Interest Group, to provide an inclusive club in response to burgeoning community interest in all aspects of gardening. Membership has been unlimited since its founding. Dues were originally $2, and a plant sale the first year netted $100 for the Community League Scholarship Fund. Fundraising activities over the years have included bazaars, a house tour, a flower show, plant sales and bake sales.
