Pingree Park Garden
After a great deal of consideration, HWGC took an interesting turn in the road for our large public event, something we try to do every few years. We chose to create something long lasting and to give back to our community. The choice was a mini Public Garden or a ‘Garden Space’. This garden is maintained by our members and community volunteers. For more information, please contact Heather Kent.

Garden Therapy
The Hamilton-Wenham Garden Club's Garden Therapy Committee works with the senior citizens of Hamilton and Wenham by providing regular floral workshops. In recent years workshops have been given in the Fall (pumpkin floral arrangement) and at Christmas (greens workshop). Both are eagerly anticipated and have been a huge success!
Please feel free to contact us if you would like to participate. Workshop dates can be found in the Hamilton Senior Center and Wenham Senior Center program listings or through our local library listings. Garden Therapy promotes social interaction as well as education for our seniors. It is beneficial to all involved and we are very pleased to offer the opportunity. For more information, please contact Pat Fleming.

Juniors Program
The Hamilton-Wenham Garden Club's Junior’s Program is designed to encourage our youngest neighbors to participate and learn about gardening. Our hope is to inspire while making each project fun and rewarding. We plant and maintain three raised beds at the Wenham Museum, and we have intermittent workshops throughout the season. Each workshop is created and coordinated by our Junior’s Program Chair. Please feel free to contact us if you would like your child to participate or to get involved.
All ages are welcome! For more information, please contact Jennifer Tymann.
