Welcome to the New London Garden Club

New London Garden Club members have a strong interest in gardening, flower arranging, and the protection and perpetuation of desirable native plants and birds. Through its Civic Beauty program, the Club maintains 14 pocket gardens in New London, New Hampshire. Outstanding gardens along Main Street and Newport Road are recognized every summer with the Garden Club Award. In the fall, the Garden Club participates in the Pumpkin People celebration; in 2022, our entry featured pumpkin bees in the Bee Kind display on Homan Corner, near Spring Ledge Farm. In 2023, the theme was It Takes a Village.

Monthly programs, held on the second Tuesday of the month, feature interesting guest speakers and announcements of upcoming workshops and other events. 

History

The New London Garden Club has a rich 96-year history that began with Jane Tracy's gift of Tracy Memorial Library and the beautiful garden, designed by the Olmsted Brothers firm, that is located there.
