Members of the Spring Glen Garden Club deliever goodies to Dept. of Public Works

 

         Above members of The Spring Glen Garden Club in conjunction with The Hamden’s Woman’s Club continue to celebrate its 100th anniversary by dropping off goodies at the Dept. of Public Works and they were received with surprise by Joseph Colello Jr.

     The Glen Garden Club has been in service to the Town of Hamden for 100 years, please stop by our historical display in hall outside the Miller Library in front of the Thorton Wilder Auditorium.

  The Club has been a fixture in the Hamden community since 1925, a chartered member of The Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc., and National Garden Clubs, Inc., since 1929. 

     The Garden Club ongoing projects includes gardens and planters in Spring Glen, Poppy’s Garden on the Farmington Canal Trail and the Historical Herb Garden at The Jonathan Dickerman House, watering the plants at the Government Center and the Miller Library. 

     The Club donated 10 American Elm hybrid trees to the Hamden Center Park as a result of its successful Wreaths for Trees program.  

     Other projects of the Club were a Rhododendron Garden at the entry to Lockwood Cottage and the Red Oak tree (Quercus rubra) affectionately known as “Annie Oakley” planted in the Eli Whitney Park.
