​Join us:
We welcome new members, both women and men, living in the villages of Essex, Centerbrook and Ivoryton, who are interested in gardening and working in the community. We offer informative programs, horticultural workshops, trips to interesting gardens, and the opportunity to spend time with people who have the same passion for projects undertaken by the club. If you are interested in learning more about club membership, please download our Membership Application Form on the New Member Information page on this website.
