Wilton Garden Club

Since 1921, our Club has been dedicated to providing education, conservation, preservation and beautification in and around our town of Wilton, Connecticut.

Founded in 1921, the Wilton Garden Club is a civic-minded organization dedicated to education, conservation, preservation, and beautification. It is a charter member of the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc. and the National Council of State Garden Clubs, now known as National Garden Clubs, Inc. The Club boasts an active membership comprised of a highly diverse mixture of women and men of

all ages. The common thread among them is a love of gardening and a commitment to Wilton. While the Club does have its fair share of master gardeners and industry professionals, a large percentage of new members are novice gardeners who want to learn more about gardening. Members also greatly benefit from the Club’s monthly lecture program, which features well-known personalities from the horticultural world who speak on a whole host of topics. Following the lecture, the Club holds a short business meeting with lunch served afterwards. Members have an opportunity to get to know one another better at these meetings and through their work together on the Club’s various committees. With 25 different committees, members are never at a loss to find something that suits their interests. To finance its various endeavors, the Club hosts an annual plant sale, held on Wilton’s Town Green on the Friday and Saturday before Mother’s Day. This Mother’s Day Plant Sale is the Club’s primary fundraiser, and all members get involved in planning the event, as well as digging and donating plants from their garden or the garden of another member. We welcome you to get involved in the Wilton Garden Club. For more information about joining the Club or to attend a meeting, contact Erica Buse, [email protected], 203.246.5747 or Katherine Rosenbaum, [email protected], 203.943.9543.

Last week our Healing, Therapy & Senior Gardening committee concluded its season with a very well attended workshop at the Comstock Community Center where participants made beautiful container gardens, a great, low-maintenance way to continue a love and appreciation for gardening in smaller spaces or with limited mobility. Thank you to our wonderful committee for this joyful program!

A Memorial Day Before & After! This spring we took on the rejuvenation of the plantings around the Wilton veteran’s memorial, transforming it into an open, welcoming space to pause and reflect. We proudly honor these members of our community who gave their lives for our country, and all those who have and continue to serve, as we pray for peace. ❤️🤍💙

This week our intrepid Civics committee braved the unusually sweltering weather to plant the town gardens! Our splendid hanging baskets were also installed on the lamp posts that light River Road and run through town, thanks to the Parks and Rec department for their help in putting them up. We love to see Wilton in full bloom 🌸🌷🌻🪻🌼💚

Today at our monthly meeting we were delighted to welcome Larry Huzi who presented “Creating Blooming Magic in May. “ Larry demonstrated sustainable floral design techniques using materials like moss, chicken wire, and reusable armatures.

Larry is an award-winning floral designer and member of the Branford Garden Club. His 1st Place floral design “The Snow Queen” at the 2026 CT Flower Show was awarded the FGCCT Nell McGuiness Award and Terry Stoleson Creative Design Award.

Next time he’ll have to teach us floral fashion designs, check out that handsome bow tie!

Thank you for joining us, Larry!
