Westport Garden Club

Founded in 1924, the Westport Garden Club (Westport, CT), consists of 60 members united by an interest in gardening and a desire to learn and share their knowledge with others.

The mission of the Westport Garden Club is:

  • To further members’ interest in and knowledge of gardening, horticulture, and flower design.

  • To participate in civic beautification.

  • To promote conservation and environmental education.

Affiliated with the Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc., and National Garden Clubs, Inc., we support the beautification and sustainability of Westport through the maintenance of several public gardens, and special projects, and offer support to civic organizations that share our cornerstone values of education, conservation, preservation, and beautification.
