Since 1933, the Garden Club of Woodbridge, Connecticut has provided residents of Woodbridge and surrounding areas a great opportunity to learn and share their interests in all things relating to gardening. We welcome the novice as well as the accomplished gardener and our programs appeal to individuals with a wide array of interests.  The Club decided early in its history to concentrate its efforts in civic improvement toward landscaping and beautifying the center of town. This is still the club’s purpose, but we have expanded our beautification throughout Woodbridge and our activities include floral design, flower shows, horticultural therapy, bird life and conservation. We have designed, planted and/or maintain many town gardens, including the Darling House Herb Garden, the Massaro Butterfly garden, The Center Garden at the Library and the Adella Baldwin Stuart Garden at the corner of Meetinghouse Lane and Center Road. Leslie Martino, one of our members, designed The Memorial Garden at the Woodbridge Fire Department and The Garden Club of Woodbridge financially supported this project.  We also developed and maintained a vegetable garden at the Senior Center with the harvest donated to the Senior Center for Tuesday and Thursday lunches.

Indulge in floral design and flower arranging using gorgeous, locally grown flowers, curated by the florists from BLOOM in Westville.

Each beautiful in its own way."
