Winter Sowing. March program.
Get a jump on spring by sowing flower or vegetable seeds in a container that can be placed outdoors to create a mini greenhouse for growing seedlings early, then directly transplanted when the soil warms in spring.

There will be a “hands on” instructional video and guidance from EGC past President Carolann Gagne.

Date: March 14, 2026
Time: 12:30 pm
Location: Fellowship Hall at First Congregational Church of Eliot

In my travels down in Florida I came across the Venice Garden Club flower show! What a treat! If I am correct, part of the exhibit was Ikebana. Japanese art of arranging flowers/plant material. Kudos to that club!

The Eliot Garden Club would like to thank the community for their support of our club and in exchange we are pleased to once again decorate some of our town's treasures for the holidays! Starting with the Christmas tree at Hammond Park, the gazebo and the Fogg Library! We would also like to thank you for supporting our grapevine wreath sale a week ago, albeit it took some tough members to stand out in that frigid weather! Happy to be a part of this wonderful community!
And a special gratitude to the Rec dept for lending a hand in stringing the lights on the Christmas tree, as well as, decorating the Hammond Park so festively!
The members enjoyed a Christmas luncheon at Cocheco County Club to round out our 2025 year.
