What a day for the West Hartford Garden Club! 🌿🏆

Last Wednesday, many of our members attended the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut Annual Awards Luncheon, where our club received 10 awards! Whoo-hoo!

The awards recognized a wide range of projects, including:

• Restoration work at Spicebush Swamp Park
• The “Conny the Whale” native pollinator garden on Trout Brook Drive
• The Friendship Garden on Park Road
• A new planting at Fellowship Housing in Bishop’s Corner
• The West Hartford Seed Library and related educational programming
• Efforts to support West Hartford’s declining tree canopy
• Work with students at Charter Oak International Academy
• Our role in helping bring Douglas Tallamy to speak at West Hartford Town Hall

Individual awards also recognized Ellen Guest for her work as webmaster; Cecily Vasington for developing environmentally sustainable planting guidelines; Candice Greenberg for designing the Fellowship Housing garden; and Beth Ann Loveland Sennett for civic project leadership.

These awards reflect the hard work, creativity, and commitment of so many members and community partners.

Big thanks to Mary Mulcahy and Eva Jakuba, who designed our pumpkin centerpiece!

Congratulations to everyone who helped make these projects possible! 🎉🌱

Most prescription bottles are too small to be not allowed in curbside recycling. Anything smaller that about 2" x 2", or about the size of a credit card, is too small for recycling facilities to sort. Please put them in the trash.

Look at our team go! 🌿💪

We made a big difference at Spicebush Swamp Park this past Monday—just look at that pile of debris!

Our crew removed numerous invasive buckthorn trees, along with some large multiflora rose and Oriental bittersweet plants.

Every work session helps open space for native plants to recover and strengthens habitat for wildlife.

Many thanks to our hardworking volunteers for another productive afternoon!

Our friends at The Garden Club of Hartford asked us to help spread the word! 🌺

Looking for beautiful amaryllis bulbs while supporting local community projects?

The Garden Club of Hartford is holding a four-day Amaryllis Sale, November 9–12, with proceeds benefiting its civic projects.

Current projects include planting beds at the Hartford Public Library and children’s programs at both the Downtown/Main Street Library and the Park Street @ The Lyric branch.

The sale is open to the public all four days, so please share the information with friends, family, and neighbors.

A lovely way to brighten the winter season while supporting gardening, education, and community projects in Hartford!
