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.

The Spring Glen Garden Club helping with fall cleanup of the herb garden at the
Jonathan Dickerman House. The Garden is maintained by The Spring Glen Garden
Club. The garden displays some of the more commonly used herbs of the late 18th
and 19th centuries. The garden contains many examples of culinary
and folk medicine herbs and herbs used by Connecticut physicians as documented
in the 1811-1830 diaries of Dr. William Beaumont of Lebanon. All plants are labeled and an information
sheet is available from the house docents.
