Contact: pinefieldgardenclub@gmail.com
​The object of our club is to stimulate interest in horticulture and to expand our knowledge of gardening for the benefit of our community.
Our Activities include
Plant Sale (Saturday May 17, 9 am - 12 noon), on the Framingham Commons. This sale funds most of our club’s activities for the year. The perennials come from the gardens of our members, who also pot and labeling the plants.
Helping Our Community: Once a year, our club collects and donates boxes of cereal to the Pearl Street Cupboard & Café at Park, a local food pantry.
Hoops and Homework receives a yearly donation from our club, in memory of Jean Bartley. A “Memorial Garden” project underway at Simpson Park will honor late member Maggie Kelber with the donations received in her memory. The Park also honors the memories of the members we have lost over the years.​
