Did you know Wallingford Garden Club maintains four public gardens in town? We also give a scholarship, teach youth programs, provide senior activities, weed out invasive plants in public areas, host speakers open to the public, run an annual plant sale and have lots of fun! Please join us!

We'll also be selling lavender sachets, painted pots with small plants, dried flower wreaths, fresh flower vases, painted rocks and daffodil, tulip, iris, and hyacinth bulbs. These support a scholarship for a Wallingford high school student continuing in horticultural studies.
