     The Spring Glen Garden Club a  fixture in the Community since 1925, a chartered member of the The Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc. and National Garden Clubs, Inc. since 1929. 
      The Spring Glen Garden Club is looking for new members, who are not only interested in horticultural pursuits but civic beautification and preservation of our natural resources.  There are no residency requirements to belong, our members are as local as Hamden, North Haven, Branford, or as far flung as Goshen. 
     Pictured below Amy Sampson PhD. is a residential and commercial landscape designer and consultant located in Cheshire, Ct.  Amy’s talk at a recent Spring Glen Garden Club meeting was on “Home Landscape and Microclimates”, gave club members ideas on how to plant around your house depending on the style of your house.  One must consider what side of the house faces what direction and how that affects plant growth.  This is what causes microclimates in your yard and Amy gave out handouts to help us make decisions on what to plant in various microclimates.  All club members learned a great deal and enjoyed the talk.
