The Garden Club

The Garden Club was established in 2006 by Marlene Tordoff for the purpose of maintaining and building upon the Lorraine Hodgkins Memorial Garden, which was installed years earlier by Lorraine’s daughter, Andrea Harvey.  Additions to the gardens over time, included a granite memorial bench in memory of Robert “Bob” Porter by his widow Barbara LaPrino Porter.

A new memorial garden was installed along Ellis Hall with hydrangea shrubs and two memorial stones in memory of Guy and Ruth McLellan by their daughters Susan McLellan Plaisted and Ann McLellan.

The club has organized many plant sales, returning some of the proceeds to the general fund of the church and using a small portion for garden expenses.  The club has organized garden tours, featuring member’s own gardens.

We welcome new members, whether you are a novice hoping to learn more about gardening, a Master Gardener, or just willing to help with weeding and watering!
