The Garden Club has a new website!
We’re excited to welcome visitors to the newly redesigned Garden Club of Norfolk website.
Our goal was simple: create an easier way for members, friends, and community residents to learn about the club, discover upcoming events, and find helpful gardening resources. Whether you’re looking for information about membership, civic gardens, educational programs, or volunteer opportunities, everything is now easier to find and access.
The new website includes:
- An updated calendar of meetings, workshops, and community events
- Information about the civic gardens and beautification projects we maintain throughout Norfolk
- Gardening resources tailored to New England gardeners
- Easy online membership registration and donation options
- News and updates about club activities and accomplishments
For more than forty years, the Garden Club of Norfolk has worked to beautify our community, share horticultural knowledge, and connect gardeners of all experience levels. We hope this new website helps us continue that mission while welcoming new members and supporters.
Take a look around, explore our programs, and be sure to check back often as we continue adding new content and updates throughout the year.
