Welcome to the Garden Club of Manchester

For more than a century, the Garden Club of Manchester has helped cultivate the beauty, character, and natural heritage of Manchester, Dorset, and the surrounding communities.

Today, our vibrant membership of over 100 gardeners, floral designers, conservation advocates, and community volunteers continues that tradition—bringing people together through a shared love of gardens, nature, and civic stewardship.

From colorful public plantings and community beautification projects to conservation initiatives, educational programs, and scholarships, our work can be seen throughout the region. Every season brings new opportunities to learn, connect, and make a lasting impact.

Whether you're an experienced gardener, a curious beginner, or simply someone who values the beauty of Vermont's landscapes, you'll find a welcoming community here.

Together, we celebrate the joy of gardening, support environmental stewardship, and help preserve the charm and vitality of the places we call home.

We invite you to explore our programs, discover our projects, and learn how you can get involved.

102 Members • Organized in 1920 • Federated in 1936
