Welcome to a new season of Salisbury Garden Club. I hope everyone had an enjoyable summer and found   a way to keep cool.  Every garden and gardener have a story. Some stories are found in the heritage of a seed passed down from friends or family. Others are rooted in the memory of a special plant, planted by a family member or friends, or is a mark of a special milestone or in memory of a loved one. This year our garden club is digging deeper than just soil and roots.

 

My theme for the coming two years is:

Our Garden Stories – Past, Present and Future.

 

 

I want to bring together horticulture and personal narrative as we focus on the gardens in our community that we support and the gardens in our own backyards. As we celebrate the 250th birthday of our nation and prepare to celebrate Salisbury Garden Club’s 60th birthday in 2028, let’s explore the history, personal memories, and unique narratives that make our gardens grow whether you have a sprawling backyard or a single windowsill with plants you enjoy. 

​

I want to thank all those members who worked hard this summer keeping community gardens watered, weeded and looking beautiful. I also want to thank all the officers and members who worked to plan for our upcoming year. I am excited about our programs for the coming year that will inspire us, educate us, and invite us to share the meaningful histories behind our favorite plants. We will look beyond the blooms to discover the personal narratives that bring our gardens to life. Thank you to each of you for bringing your passion, your knowledge, and your stories to our club. 

​

Warmly, 

Katie​
