Rehoboth Garden Club News

May will be a very busy month for the Rehoboth Garden Club. On Monday, May 1, 2017 club members will gather at the Carpenter Museum at 9 AM to clean up the herb garden and prepare it for the growing season ahead. The herb garden has been designed, created and maintained by the club for the enjoyment of the community. Third grade students in Rehoboth visit the herb garden annually to learn about the herbs' historical and current uses.

In preparation for our annual plant sale, club members will open and clean the Goff Hall shed on Thursday, May 11, 2017 from 9AM - 2PM. All plant donations from members' gardens and from the general community will be gratefully accepted on Friday, May 12, 2017 from 8AM - 1PM.

Please join us at our club's Annual Plant Sale which will be held on Saturday, May 13, 2017 from 9 AM - 1PM at the Goff Hall Barn Shed, 124 Bay State Road, Rehoboth, MA. A wide variety of annuals, hanging plants, perennials, herbs, vegetables and bushes will be available. As a special addition, we will also have beautiful Mother's Day gifts, as well as fun children's gifts. All proceeds will fund our scholarship, civic and educational programs.

Watch for us in the Dighton-Rehoboth Memorial Day Parade on Monday, May 29, 2017. We will be giving away free packets of seeds, whose flowers will attract beneficial bees and butterflies.

Finally, there is still time for high school seniors or graduate students to apply for our club's $1,000 scholarship. For information or an application please call 508-252-6337, or write to the Rehoboth Garden Club, 117 Carpenter Street, Rehoboth, Ma 02769.

Happy Gardening!
