Seasonal Projects
GRANTHAM CIVIC GARDENS
- Planting and maintaining colorful annuals around town has been the club's hallmark civic project since the club was started. These days members water and care for the flowers in garden barrels at the post office, library, town hall, and fire station.
- We also maintain the triangle garden found in the center of the intersection at routes 10 and 114.
- In 2024 we began a collaboration with the fire department to improve the fire station sign and garden at the front of the property. Fire department volunteers reinstalled the Smoky the Bear message sign, while the garden club tackled redesigning the garden bed.
- At the end of September, the Civic Gardens barrels are spruced up with fresh mums to replace the waning summer flowers. By mid November, holiday arrangements are added to replace the mums as our cold nights return.

GRANTHAM TOWN WIDE CLEANUP DAY
- Since 2021, the club has proudly organized the annual Grantham Townwide Cleanup Day where each spring we invite residents to join our members for a community roadside cleanup. On the first Saturday morning in May, through rain or shine, volunteers spend 3 hours picking up roadside trash as part of our effort to keep Grantham sparkling!
GRANTHAM PUBLIC PLANT SALE
- The club has a long history of organizing this well-received community event, held on a Saturday morning in May at the Grantham Town Hall. This is our club's primary fundraiser that locals tell us they look forward to every year because we have a reputation for selling beautiful fresh annuals for their gardens at very reasonable prices.
CHRISTMAS AT THE FELLS
- In autumn a couple of our members team up to create a wreath for the club to donate to the "Hall of Wreaths" being displayed during The Christmas at the Fells Holiday Open House held each year in early November. All donations are auctioned off with the proceeds going to support the Fells.
- Sally and Kristina have enjoyed creating these wreaths on our behalf for the past couple of years. They named their 2023 wreath "Sally's Glorious Garden" and their 2024 wreath “The Color Purple”.
