     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.

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.
