Welcome to the Taunton Garden Club!

2026 Scholarship

Our 92nd year is off to a great start ! We listened to a lecture by Master Gardener Kathi Gariepy from the Massachusetts Master Gardener Association Speakers Bureau. The topic was Xeriscaping , the art of landscaping with plants that require little water for upkeep. This helps with water conservation while beautifying an area. Such an informative program .The members recieved their yearbooks with the Club’s schedule of upcoming programs including topics on bees , ‘good’ and ‘bad’ bugs; butterfly house making workshop; as well as our annual programs of flower arrangements for Seniors, holiday greens workshop and designer challenges.We then held our monthly business meeting and enjoyed good fellowship. New members are always welcome . Just message us.

Five lifetime members have reached the milestone of 50 years of dedication. This level of commitment has kept our club going strong for over 92 years.

June 2025 Monthly and Annual Meeting

June 5, 2025 was our last meeting for this year . We held our monthly meeting and Annual meeting in which we celebrated our accomplishments , honored our 50 year memebers (such dedication) and elected /swore in our New Club Officers. Congratulations to all who will take on the challenge of moving our club forward into its 92nd year and beyond !

Our Conservation Committee held a workshop in which our members planted containers with native plants to attract pollinators. Fun while learning !

Such a successful event !! The club sold hundreds of healthy home grown perennials, annuals, veggies , herbs and even indoor house plants to many many happy customers (not just ourselves …haha) . There were also many delicious baked goods and hand crafted boutique items as well.

Our May meeting workshop was so much fun! Our members made fresh flower arrangements that will be given to the 4 local Nursing Homes to brighten a Senior’s day.

Our Garden Therapy Committe has been hard at work this year . Monthly ,our Committee goes into local Nursing homes , Senior housing and the Council on Aging to share the love of gardening by making fresh flower arrangements. What a wonderful way to bring joy and enrichment to our Seniors.

On April 24th, as part of our civic beautification program we worked with Nathan Nuby, DCR and the MA Urban Canopy program to plant 5 trees. 2 were for Arbor Day 2024 & 2025 and 3 were for memorials to 3 past Garden Club Presidents who have passed away in the last 2 years. All trees are native to New England.

Our April 3rd Meeting celebrated past (and present) Club presidents with a lecture/ workshop presented by Cathy Rooney of Designer of Greens Landscaping entitled ” How to clean and sharpen your garden tools”. It was very informative and fun. Now our tools are ready to tackle the jobs of garden cleanup and planting!

As always, new members and guest are welcome. Please contact us for details. Our next meeting is May 1st and will be our flower arranging workshop for our local Senior Citizens.

We want to thank the 50+ women and men who have stepped up to lead our organization over these past 91 years. It takes a special person willing to give this level of commitment. THANK YOU.
