Organizational History
Chartered in 1951, the Community Garden Club of Meredith, a volunteer organization has promoted horticultural education, civic beautification and conservation. Members join committees of their choice such as: Membership, Hospitality, Publicity, W**d & Feed, Scholarship, Programs, Sunshine, Horticulture and Garden Outreach Therapy. In the fall of 2017, members donated and planted 1600 daffodil bulbs in honor of Meredith’s 250th Birthday. Another 1000 were planted in 2019 and plans continue to add more to our Daffodil Days. In addition, members plant and maintain garden beds and tubs found at: Chamber of Commerce, Meredith Community Center Flagpole and Upper Gardens, Meredith Post Office, Meredith Town Hall, Triangles at Pleasant and Plymouth Streets, Bobbie’s Barrels at Waukewan Park and the Town Docks Planters.
