About Us
The West Newbury Garden Club, established in 1936, is a sociable group of about 80 gardeners and garden lovers from West Newbury and surrounding towns which meets once a month to socialize, share ideas and host gardening related talks. During the summer, members enjoy field trips and sharing one another’s gardens. New members are always welcome!
The Club seeks to cultivate an interest in gardening, to aid in the conservation of natural resources, to promote civic beauty and to encourage the study of horticulture and the environment.
