Welcome!
ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION
​
The East Longmeadow Garden Club was organized in 1969 under the direction and our founder, Esther Rosati.
The Club has been an active organization since 1969 with challenging projects, educational opportunities, and informative programs. Members have been eager and dedicated, and their enthusiasm inspiring.
Our purpose is to educate and facilitate interest in all phases of home gardening, better horticultural practices, civic beauty and conservation of natural resources in the Town of East Longmeadow. You do not have to be a gardener to belong, but you should have an interest in our purpose.
​
We welcome men and women from East Longmeadow and surrounding towns to join.
