For more than 70 years, the Pound Ridge Garden Club has been home to generations of horticulture and floral design enthusiasts. In addition to learning together about gardening technique and flower arranging, we collaborate on a wide range of civic projects to preserve and enhance the natural beauty and neighborly spirit of Pound Ridge.

We invite the community to help us spread holiday cheer throughout Pound Ridge. The club is again sponsoring a winter themed mailbox decorating contest open to all town residents. Whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or just enjoy winter decorations, this could be a great project involving the whole family. There will be two categories, the winner of the adult category will receive a $50 gift certificate to the market at Pound Ridge Square and the winner of the youth category will receive a $50 gift certificate to Booksy galore. Pictures of all entries will be posted on our website before the drawing. To enter, email a photo of your decorated mailbox to poundridgegardenclub@gmail.com. All entries must be received by December 20th and the prizes will be awarded in January. There is no restriction on your creativity but be sure not to interfere with the mailbox mechanics have fun decorating! Winning photos will be displayed on the website.
