Our award winning Garden Room had its beginnings in 1910 when the then Women's Town Improvement Association sponsored a children's competition for The Best Flower. However, it was officially established in 1939 when it was inducted into the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc. Prize-winning projects of The Garden Room included the Greening of the Post Road and Canal Green Park. Our Garden Room was the winner of the Second National Award in an Environment Improvement Program sponsored by the National Council of State Garden Clubs Inc. and was a pioneer in ecology in the 1970's.
Members of The Garden Room learn through a variety of meetings, guest speakers, hands-on workshops and local field trips. We help each other to grow our knowledge and share our passion for gardening. You don’t need to have a “green thumb” to join The Garden Room. All you need is an interest in gardening, house plants or all things green!
