Conserving Local Gardens Since 1928

The Chappaqua Garden Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the conservation of local gardens. With approximately 100 members from all over Westchester County, the club is a part of District IX in the Federated Garden Clubs of New York State.

We devote our time to the beautification of public spaces, educating the children and adults in the community, and practicing organic and sustainable gardening techniques.

The club's community outreach includes hands-on gardening and planting projects.  We provide weekly flower arrangements for the Chappaqua Library, collaborate on library programming,  and engage seniors in projects at the New Castle Community Center.  Our community projects include:

  • Planting thousands of daffodils in our annual Bulbs Around Town initiative
  • Plantings of hundreds of native plants in public spaces
  • Grant funded pollinator garden at the Chappaqua Library
  • Raised bed vegetable and herb garden at the New Castle Community Center
  • The "Pocket Park" in downtown Chappaqua
  • Planting sidewalk containers throughout town in collaboration with the New Castle Beautification Board

Whether you want to meet new friends, learn special gardening techniques or attend floral arranging workshops - there are many interest groups to choose from!  Members can devote their time to any of six main interest groups:

Civic BEAUTIFICATION
