Haddonfield Garden Club
Established 1906
The Haddonfield Garden Club was founded in 1906, and became a charter member of the New Jersey Garden Club in 1927. For more than one hundred years we have been involved in community projects, and in the education of our members relating to gardening, horticulture and the environment. We have a membership of eighty, with at least fifty active participants. There are meetings which are open to the general public, and announcements are made in local newspapers of these meetings.
OUR THEME FOR 2007-2009
Appreciate the beauty of nature through creativity, conservation, control, and knowledge.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT
(From our Bylaws)
“The object of the Haddonfield Garden Club is to encourage an interest in all aspects of gardening, horticulture and artistic use of plant material; to promote the study of nature and the environment; and to participate in related community projects.
Those who contemplate the beauty of the
Earth find reserves of strength that will
endure as long as life lasts.
There is symbolic, as well as actual
beauty in the migration of birds,
The ebb and flow of tides, the folded
bud ready for spring.
There is something, infinitely healing in the
repeated refrains of nature – the
assurance that dawn comes after the night
and spring after the winter.
Rachel Carson (1907-1964) from “Silent Spring”
