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.

MEMBER NOTES

JANIE'S HOSTA GARDEN FUNDRAISER

One of our past presidents, Jane Deane Clark, who is the current President of the Friends of the Dunbar Free Library, is generously opening her garden this spring and inviting us to dig up her Hostas for planting our own gardens as she prepares to turn her beautiful Hostas beds into a pollinator garden this summer. Sign up now to visit Janie's lovely garden on Sunday, May 4th, rain or shine, between 9:30 a.m. and 12:00 noon in Eastman. Digging assistance is promised by Bill Weeks, our current Grantham Garden Club President, and he plans to have 1 and 2 gallon pots on hand should you not have any of your own available for transporting plants home. Donations are requested as Janie is offering her Hostas as a fundraiser for both the Friends of the Dunbar Free Library and the Grantham Garden Club. All donations will be shared equally between our two organizations. So remember what Bill says about Hostas giving you years of pleasure in return for your kindness when you give them a new home!
