Four Seasons Garden Club

Member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc.
 Federated Garden Clubs of Vermont

Meetings
Regular meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month except January.

Purpose
The purpose of this Club is to stimulate knowledge and a love of gardening; to aid in the protection of native trees, plants and birds; to encourage and to promote civic planting and the beautification of our homes.

Club Projects
• Continue to maintain the 19th century Cyrus Eaton House Garden, part of the Old Stone House Museum in Brownington,VT. The original garden was designed and planted by the club in 1980. The current garden was redesigned in 2021 and 2022 after a three year period in which the club and Old Stone House staff worked together to address an invasion of goutweed. The garden has won historic preservation awards from both the state (FGCV) and the New England region (NEGC).

• Maintain the gardens at North Country Hospital, Newport, Vermont, which our Club has dedicated to the memory of Sass Kolar, an inspiring founding member. The “Plant It Pink Garden” honoring the fight against breast cancer, was awarded the National Garden Club’s Pink Trowel Award for 2011.

• Development of a Pollinator Meadow at the Bluffside Farm in Newport in partnership with the Vermont Land Trust.

• Provide holiday arrangements for senior citizens/nursing homes.

• Provide programs from the Northwoods Stewardship Center to local schools.

• Maintenance of the Watershed Native Garden along the bike path at Bluffside Farm
