Civic Activities, Club Events, Framingham

Framingham Garden Club works to put our skills to use for our home town. Since taking over the design and care for the garden leading into Framingham’s Nobscot Park, we’ve been planning this second phase:

Workmen delivered our raw materials to the Park and helped to assemble this beautiful Memorial Bench that will be a proud feature of the personalized garden and the new town park we lovingly tend to.

The granite slabs are polished and carved to commemorate all of our former deceased members.

An official commemoration with news coverage is expected in November of 2017

On February 2, 2017, FGC members were treated to a display of clothing that spanned the years 1772-1927. All of the clothing was actually worn by Framingham women. The exhibit consisted of a selection of 13 dresses from the FHC’s massive collection of over 300 items.
