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.

Mailbox Decorating Competition winners announced
We have finally decided on the two winners of this year’s mailbox decorating competition.The winner of the $50 gift certificate to the Market at Pound Ridge Square is the Dur Family for their extensively decorated design featuring evergreen boughs, red cardinals, a berry covered wreath, a large bow embellished with pinecones and a holly covered pole. The winner of the $50 gift certificate to Booksy is the McNamara family. Their mailbox soldier, fondly named “Gerald” by daughter Leah, is decorated with grass for his hair, a pail for a hat, evergreens for his pants and features pinecone buttons. Congratulations to both families for their unique and creative designs.
December club Project
During the holiday season, street signs along the three main roads of Pound Ridge were decorated with evergreen swags topped with red bows and Town buildings were decorated with wreaths as well as swags. They were all made and hung by club members as our gift to the town which has been an annual tradition since 1975.
November Senior Outreach Project
In November we held a Senior Outreach craft workshop to make take-home gifts for the seniors attending the town N2N Holiday Luncheon. This year, we decorated heart shaped bowls that can be used to hold candy, jewelry or other nick knacks. Most of the pressed flowers used were grown by club members. They are pictured upside down while the bases were drying. Previous gifts have included decoupage picture frames and candle holders.
