WELCOME

The Grantham Garden Club is a vibrant, nonprofit organization located in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley. Our 100+ members range from novice to experienced hands-in-the-soil gardeners, and some simply enjoy participating in our many programs and activities. The club offers a wide variety of educational programs, field trips, and civic-minded projects that we organize to enhance and beautify our community. Scholarships supporting several career paths that 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! Please explore this website to learn more. We look forward to meeting you soon and hope you enjoy these exquisite photos of flowers taken in our member's gardens. (Photos courtesy of Terri Munson)

MEMBER NOTES

BOOTH VOLUNTEERS
& BAKERS NEEDED

If you plan to attend the MUSIC IN THE MEADOW concerts this summer, please consider representing the club while enjoying them. All you'll need to do is sit at our table and hand out homemade sweet treats when hungry concertgoers stop by. All monetary donations go towards our student scholarship fund, so if any bakers are looking for a good excuse to whip up a batch of cookies, this is definitely it!

Bakers are asked to prepare two (2) dozen goodies and package them as individual servings. Squares and brownies should be pre-cut and individually packaged. If you're baking cookies, include two small or one large cookie in individual plastic baggies.
