The Mountain Garden Club has a varying roster of interesting and rewarding projects within the Valley.  Below we list just a few of our many activities:

Every year the Mountain Garden Club raises funds to provide a scholarship to a deserving student within the area of Mount Washington Valley.   It has now become a very focal point of the club and one we are proud to continue.

 

Scholarship recipient Katelyn Dolan came back to visit the MGC at our annual Holiday Luncheon and told us all about her plans for the coming year.

Club Projects & Programs

 

Members have an opportunity throughout the year to participate in various trips around and out of the Valley.  These include: member garden tours, the Boston Flower Show, Art in Bloom and the Lupine Festival.  Trips are organized by members as a social as well as educational function.

Special Trips for Members

Held each year at the end of May, members share their gardens through a Plant Sale held at the North Conway Community Center.  They also sell Spring Flowering Bulbs as a fundraiser in the Fall.  Proceeds provide funding for our many projects including Cancer awareness, Civic Improvement and Scholarship.
