Rehoboth Garden Club News

In September, the Rehoboth Garden Club will continue to celebrate the club’s 90th Anniversary. We will kick off our first meeting of the new program season with an anniversary cake, interesting club history, and time to socialize, on September 16, 2024 at the Rehoboth Congregational Church at 6:30 PM. Our special guest will be Sarah Newkirk from Osamequin Farm in Seekonk. Osamequin Farm is a non-profit educational space and working farm committed to preserving the land, sharing space and resources in a cooperative farming setting, and so much more. Visit their website, www.osamequinfarm.org.  to learn more about the farm. The community is cordially invited to attend.

The October 21, 2024 meeting will be a field trip to the Barrington Farm School in Barrington Rhode Island. The school is a non-profit inclusive community farm committed to growing healthy food, offering environmental education, and restoring the soil. Our private tour will focus on the farm’s community composting program. Their website, www.barringtonschoolfarm.org,   offers extensive information about their public food scrap collection system, and other aspects of their organization.

New members are always welcome, and this is the perfect time to join our club. For membership information, please contact Michael Seebeck at michaeljseebeck@gmail.com  or 401-787-5206.
