Framingham Garden Club, Inc. – a feature of Framingham for more than 90 years

Our greatest asset continues to be our members. We meet, learn from, and work with others who enjoy gardens and flowers. Part of the club’s richness is our diversity: we have myriad interests, skill levels, and abilities – all of which contribute to the club’s overall success and enjoyment. Each year, members expand their interests, explore previously hidden talents, and form friendships, all while serving the community and the environment.

The club’s main emphases are on civic activities, education, and conservation. Each monthly meeting, September through May, features a lunch, short business meeting, and special presentation. The diverse activities of our committees reflect the different interests, concerns and time constraints of our members.

We encourage members to participate in the pursuits in which they are particularly interested. Floral arrangement, botany, horticulture, conservation, and garden design are just a few of our interests.

 

Our mission is education, conservation and beautification, as they relate to design, horticulture and gardening in our community.
