Welcome to the Greenfield Garden Club
Serving all of Franklin County, Massachusetts, and beyond.
Please join us at one of our many meetings - and bring a friend!
We are really looking forward to Saturday's trip to the Song Garden in Cornish, NH. See the sidebar for a link to more information. Please plan to meet all together at the Cherry Rum Parking Lot at 9:00 AM to divide into cars. A full day is planned, but if a group only wants to do the Song Garden in the morning, that is fine too. We can lunch in the area or eat from a picnic lunch. For the afternoon we are planning to visit Path of Life Sculpture Garden in Windsor, VT where admission is $6 per person (The Song Garden is free, unless you want to buy a bouquet of flowers or something in the teahouse). Near the Path of Life is Harpoon Brewery, Vermont Farmstead Cheese, Cheese Board, Simon Pierce, and Blake Hill Preserves. We'll make sure there;s room in each car for purchases! Please plan to join us for a fun day out. See you Saturday at 9:00 AM at Cherry Rum in Greenfield, where I will also have maps of the route to hand out.
