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.

The Pound Ridge Garden Club will be holding its biennial flower show entitled “The Big Apple”. The show will be a competitive exhibition of both floral designs and horticultural exhibits and will also include educational displays as well as a class consisting of arrangements designed by men.
This year’s show will provide a stroll through our local parks with the various classes on display named after parks and neighborhoods in New York City and Westchester County. In addition, two educational displays will detail the evolution of the 1.45 mile elevated Highline Park created on the disused New York Central elevated tracks in Manhattan and also design aspects of Central Park that became trademarks of Frederick Law Olmsted. The show is free and open to the public. |
The Pound Ridge Garden Club Flower Shows have won many major local and national awards, including the 2016 National Garden Club Standard Flower Show Achievement Award, one of only eight garden clubs in the country to receive the award that year. Come to Conant Hall and see the beautiful floral displays and see what we have been growing in our gardens. You are guaranteed to have a good time and may get some new design ideas and learn about new plant varieties.
