Harvest Time Competition

The club is back to in person meetings, following COVID protocols. Once again our members brought horticultural specimens to highlight the successes from their gardens during the past summer. This year’s show, “Showcasing our Garden Delights,” was held on September 15 at our first meeting of the 2021-22 season.

Gardeners reported prodigious blossoms on their hydrangeas, thanks to an abundance of rain this summer.

Every year Framingham Garden Club hosts an autumn  horticultural show to highlight the successes from our gardens during the past summer. This year’s show, “Reaping Our Rewards,” was held on September 12, 2018 at our first meeting of the 2018-19 season.
