Club community service activities include planting and maintenance of the Franklin Town Common gardens and the planters at the Franklin Library, sponsorship of an annual scholarship awarded to a high school graduate, distribution of pine tree seedlings in the elementary schools and special projects with other community organizations.
“The Garden Club, founded in 1987, offers members a wonderful opportunity to learn new information and tips from experts and fellow members related to many different aspects of gardening,” noted Janice Cederquist and Susan Childers, co-presidents. “We welcome anyone who is interested to attend the first meeting to learn more about the Club and planned activities.”
