Planting on the Green
Each year in May, members plant red and white geraniums, along with blue ageratum, around the monument, flag pole, and gazebo just in time for Memorial Day events. The club members deadhead flowers and weed flower beds throughout the season.
Senior Center Patio Garden
Garden club members have adopted the Senior Center patio garden, adding compost and a variety of shade plants. Last spring, they invited others to a special event to view the beautiful results.
Holiday Wreaths for Public Buildings
Every December, members gather to assemble fresh greenery to make live wreaths for various public buildings throughout Norwalk. This activity continues a long-standing tradition of beautification for the community during the holidays.
East Norwalk Historical Cemetery
The East Norwalk Historical Cemetery was established c.1655 and is Norwalk’s oldest cemetery. Many of the first settlers are buried there. For many years, garden club members have filled decorative urns with a bright display of annual flowers.
Oak Hills Park Nature Center
Garden club volunteers work in partnership with other ecology-minded groups to bring the newly-designed Fountain Garden to life. The hard work of creating a natural, yet formal setting, that includes lawn, gravel paths, a solar-powered fountain, old stone wall, and native plantings has been the focus of this dedicated group of gardeners. Recently, hundreds of bulbs have been planted that will produce a spectacular spring display.
