Purpose

Eighty four years after its inception, The Acton Garden Club continues to follow the traditions and goals of its founding members and adheres to its original purpose:

To promote a greater interest in gardening and to share experiences that shall be of mutual benefit

Goals

• To provide opportunities for learning in the areas of horticulture, floral design, landscape design, and environmental issues. This is accomplished by offering informational programs, staging flower shows, and committing to community service projects. Participation in GCFM sponsored programs is encouraged.
• To promote civic beauty with seasonal plantings throughout the Town, to maintain the historic gardens, and to promote well-being through garden therapy.
• To encourage study in the environmental sciences by awarding scholarships to graduating Acton seniors who intend to major in an environmental field, and award educational grants to Town of Acton employees and Town organizations to directly benefit residents of Acton.
• To respond to requests by local community agencies for floral arrangements, financial assistance, or volunteers to help with civic projects.
