The Bedford Garden Club is located in Bedford,
Massachusetts. We were founded on September 25, 1956, and celebrated our 50th year in 2006! We currently have 85 members.
Seven are honorary.
Our general meetings are usually held on the second Tuesday morning of every month (except
June, July, and August). Most of our meetings are held in the meeting room of the Bedford Free Public Library, located next
to the high school on Mudge Way in Bedford. The exceptions are our holiday party, annual meeting, an evening meeting, and
an occasional field trip. Our social hour begins at 9:30 a.m., and the meeting and program begin at 10:00 a.m. The Executive
Board meets on the fourth Monday of the month in members' homes.
The purpose of our club is to stimulate among
amateurs the knowledge and love of gardening, the protection of native trees and plants, and encouragement of civic planting.
Our members help with fundraisers so that we may continue to support our civic projects and annual scholarship. We have interesting
meetings, learn a lot, and have fun in the process! We have been a member of the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts,
Inc., since 2001.
If you are a Bedford, Massachusetts, resident and are interested in joining our club, come to
one of our meetings and complete an application at our membership table, or you may request an application via e-mail to our
membership chairperson, Sally Sutherland (normsuth@verizon.net). The cost to join is $25 per year which includes membership
in the Federation."
"The History of the Bedford Garden Club" was completed in April 2006. Copies
