Planting on the Green

Each year in May, members plant red and white geraniums around the monument, flag pole, and gazebo just in time for Memorial Day events. The club members deadhead flowers and weed flower beds throughout the season.

Senior Center Patio Garden

Garden club members have adopted the Senior Center patio garden, adding compost and a variety of shade plants. Last spring, they invited others to a special event to view the beautiful results.

Holiday Wreaths for Public Buildings

Every December, members gather to assemble fresh greenery to make live wreaths for various public buildings throughout Norwalk. This activity continues a long-standing tradition of beautification for the community during the holidays.

East Norwalk Historical Cemetery

The East Norwalk Historical Cemetery was established c.1655 and is Norwalk’s oldest cemetery. Many of the first settlers are buried there. For many years, garden club members have filled decorative urns with a bright display of annual flowers.
