Welcome
Since 1954 we have been serving many communities of New London county. We are a non-profit club dedicated to the planning and performance of educational and charitable projects with emphasis on horticulture, conservation, civic planting, floral and landscape design. We strive to spread joy, by making the community a better place.
Thank you to all who supported our Annual Plant Sale!
Proceeds will go to support local non-profit organizations plus civic and educational club projects

We have run a successful Plant Sale for over two decades raising money for our philanthropic causes.
Continuous Learning
Each month we invite guest speakers who provide education on the science and beauty of plants, including their sowing, cultivation, and arranging, while instilling an appreciation of their artistry, utility and value.
