 Rowayton Gardeners' Annual Christmas Market
Saturday, December 5th, 10:00am-1:00pm
Mark your calendars for the Rowayton Gardeners' fundraiser, the annual Christmas Market on Saturday, December 5th. Workshops begin October 14th at the Community Center. The Spring Plant Sale will be Saturday, May 1st.
Rowayton Gardeners was organized in 1957 by Mrs. John F. Falsey, Mrs. Lewis E. Gage and Mrs. Peter Leavitt. They envisioned a group who would share and experience the joys of gardening that quickly grew to include civic awareness and a commitment to beautify our community. There are almost 100 members of the club today and every active member is required to assist with club activities.
Rowayton Gardeners have contributed to the beautification of Rowayton and have received an "Award of Merit" from the 6th Taxing District. They have also received recognition from the National Federated Garden Club for the establishment of the Youth Garden at Rowayton Elementary School.
The Club hosted a Standard Flower Show, "Sailing through Rowayton", in June at the Community Center and Library. There were 24 floral designs and 275 horticultural exhibits.
The Rowayton Gardeners meet on the first Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m. at the Community Center. Meetings stimulate interest and build expertise in gardening through lectures and workshops on horticulture, flower arranging, environmental issues and garden design. New members are welcome! Please contact Membership Chairperson, Dossie Sullivan at 838-8109, for more information. |
