What We Do
What We Do
Founded in 1928, the Lincoln Garden Club brings together gardeners of every experience level to learn, share ideas, beautify Lincoln, and support conservation in our community.
Our Mission
The Lincoln Garden Club is a welcoming and inclusive organization founded for educational purposes to promote interest in horticulture, design, conservation, and the beautification of the community.
Meetings & Programs
The Club meets eight times a year, generally on the first Monday of the month. Meetings include Club business followed by a featured speaker. Program topics include plant materials, gardening tips, landscape design, conservation, unusual gardens, and flower arranging demonstrations.
Community Service
Service is a cornerstone of the Lincoln Garden Club. Members help maintain public spaces, create floral arrangements, support conservation efforts, and contribute to projects that make Lincoln more beautiful and welcoming.
Station Park
The Club has maintained and enhanced Station Park on Lincoln Road since 1972, with members caring for flowering shrubs, perennials, and seasonal plantings.
Watering Troughs
Members plant and care for Lincoln’s historic watering troughs, changing the plant material seasonally and keeping them watered throughout the growing season.
Mission for Cheer
Twice a year, members arrange and deliver flowers and plants to senior citizens who are ill, homebound, or have recently lost a family member.
Library Flowers
Club members provide weekly flower arrangements for the front desk at the Lincoln Public Library.
Senior Dining
Members create table arrangements for Senior Dining, a monthly meal sponsored by Lincoln’s Council on Aging.
Conservation
The Club supports conservation efforts including invasive plant awareness, roadside preservation, and sustainable gardening practices.
Workshops & Day Trips
The Club offers workshops and educational outings throughout the year. Past topics have included pruning, flower arranging, garden journals, plant propagation, soil testing, raised bed gardening, and stone wall maintenance.
Members also enjoy horticultural day trips to seasonal destinations such as Garden in the Woods, White Flower Farm, Bedrock Gardens, and other gardens of interest.
Plant Sale & Special Events
The Club holds a biennial plant sale that is open to the public. Members donate perennials and shrubs from their gardens, which are sold along with annuals and vegetable seedlings. Club members are available to give advice and share gardening tips.
Around Town
Members decorate Pierce House and Bemis Hall during the holiday season, contribute to public garden spaces, and support projects that enhance Lincoln’s civic and natural landscape.
