Join us at our monthly meetings with guest speakers, panel presentations, and a light brunch. We generally meet on the last Monday of the month from September to April.
The public is welcome!

Offering a yearly grant or scholarship

Creating flower arrangements for the Harvard Public Library and the Bromfield graduation

Spring Plant Sale
At our plant sale in May, we sell hundreds
of Harvard-hardy perennials from our own
gardens, as well as top-notch annuals,
vegetables, and herbs.
Annual Luncheon and Garden Tour
In June, we celebrate the growing season with
a tour of several beautiful Harvard gardens,
preceded by our annual luncheon meeting.
Workshops, Trips, and Special Programs
Depending on members' interests, we may hold special workshops, arrange a group trip, or visit a nursery. On a weekly trail walk, you might find a surprise in the grass. Garden club members plant seasonal flowers in window boxes on town buildings.
