civic & community

We encourage the protection and conservation of natural resources.
We strive to promote civic beauty and to engage community members
with garden related activities.

Civic Planter Program
​Civic planters are available for sponsorship by local businesses and individuals on an annual basis. Four seasonal displays are maintained by club members to enhance the beauty of our towns. For more information, please contact Michelle Granese.

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 four years.  Rather than organize a lovely Garden Tour or Flower Show (as in past years), we chose to create something that will be long lasting and give back to our community.  The choice was a mini Public Garden or a ‘Garden Space’.

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.

Junior 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 have intermittent workshops throughout the season.  Each workshop is created and coordinated by our Junior’s Program Chair.  You’ll find mini-junior workshops at our Spring Plant Sale as well as other HWGC events.   Please feel free to contact us if you would like your child to participate or to get involved.    All ages are welcome!
