Garden Club meetings

Develop your gardening knowledge and skills. Participation is a combination of informational presentations and hands-on experience. Janet Macunovich, master gardener and designer of our Children's Sensory Garden, serves as our 'crew chief" for the gardening work bees, a great learning experience. She also is a presenter at many meetings or, through her vast network of contacts, connects us with knowledgeable presenters on a variety of topics.

No cost to participate beyond your time and efforts and work bees in the gardens on Library grounds. Attendance is open to non-members too!

  Scott Pittman, Garden Central in Berkley, has been choosing plants for confined spaces and seeing the great results for decades, both locally and out East. His presentation will be the starting point for improving the plantings in islands in the Library’s parking lot – our next landscape improvement project. The Library Gardeners will be designing and then planting and caring for trees in the library parking lot.

2017 Children's Craft Programs

  • Making Bird Feeders for the Garden

  • Nature during winter can make it hard for animals to find food. Several kids joined us on Sunday, February 12th to make bird feeders - one for the birds in the Library's garden and one to take home for your the birds in their yard.

  • Making Scarecrows for the Garden


    Scarecrows have a long history in our gardens. We had a lot of fun learning about this and making a scarecrow for our gardens at home.
