Rehoboth Garden Club News

Posted

The Rehoboth Garden Club held our annual plant sale on May 13th. We would like to thank Vice President Susan Thayer for all her efforts to make the sale such a success, along with all the members who donated their plants and their hard work. Our appreciation goes out to our sponsors, Souza Family Farm, 33 Agricultural Ave. in Rehoboth and Araujo Farm & Greenhouses, 1522 Williams Street in Dighton, as well as all our customers and supporters. All proceeds are used to fund our scholarship, civic and educational programs.

Our scholarship application deadline is fast approaching. Our annual $1,000 scholarship will be awarded to a high school or graduate student from Rehoboth and the surrounding communities who have achieved a cumulative GPA of at least 3.25 on a 4.0 scale and will be attending an accredited college. Applicants must be majoring in agriculture, horticulture, botany, forestry, natural resource management, environmental sciences or related fields. For an application please call 508-252-6337 or write to The Rehoboth Garden Club, 117 Carpenter Street, Rehoboth, MA, 02769. All applications must be received by June 30, 2017.

Our club's next civic beautification project will take place at the Rehoboth COA Senior Center on Monday, June 5, 2017 when we will plant annuals and perennials in their gardens and window boxes. This will be a multi-generational effort, as club members will be assisted by Rehoboth's Daisy Scouts, Girl Scouts and Senior Citizens. Any teens or adults who would like to volunteer their help will be greatly appreciated. Please bring shovels and hand digging tools. Work will begin at 3:30 PM. We hope to make this a joyous community event!
