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.

Recent Club Doings:
In anticipation of the reopening of the Pound Ridge Historical Society Museum early this summer, several club members have been very busy creating a tableaux depicting the predicted growth cycle of the Flame Amur Red Maple tree, Acer tartaricum, that we planted behind the town house in honor of the Society’s Time Capsule 2020 exhibit. Photos of the tree will be included in the buried capsule. Stay tuned for more information on the museum opening.
