The Framingham Garden Club is honored to participate in a meaningful and also practical conservation project that’s as simple as collecting pennies.
At every FGC meeting or event, we gather up whatever spare pennies we have on us. The collection grows surprisingly fast, and every time the total reaches $68.00 the bank is gladly donated to the wonderful Penny Pine program.
The Penny Pine program is a conservation program of the National Garden Club and is administered locally by the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts. Money collected from donors, such as FGC, goes toward the costs of replanting trees indigenous to an area damaged by fire or by other natural catastrophe.
Every $68.00 contribution to the Penny Pines program is granted in loving memory of a special someone who has made a difference in the world.
Meg amongst friends.
Our donation on January 17, 2017 was given in loving memory of Margaret Humphries a beloved member of FGC for 22 years. Meg was active on the finance committee and she was active along the garden patios of Framingham’s best kept plots.
In addition to the Framingham Garden Club, Meg was a member of the Natick Lions Club, her British Group, and two golf leagues. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
