WELCOME
Please enjoy these exquisite photos taken in our members' gardens!

The Grantham Garden Club is a vibrant, nonprofit organization in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley. Our 100+ members range from novice hands-in-the-soil gardeners to experienced master gardeners, and some simply enjoy participating in our many activities. The club offers a wide variety of educational programs, field trips, and civic-minded activities organized to enhance and beautify our community. Educational scholarships in support our mission are available to high school and college students. Membership is open throughout the year and we'd love to have you join us. (Photos courtesy of Terri Munson and Liz Malone)
