The Methuen Garden Club was founded in 2002. Membership is open to all residents of Methuen, MA and also to interested folks in neighboring towns. Our annual dues are set at a modest $35.00 and benefits include a Cloisonné Methuen Garden Club Member Pin, a Tote Bag, a Methuen Garden Club sign for your yard and discounts at many local garden centers.  But the greatest benefit is the pleasure of joining together with old and new friends to make our town and our own gardens more beautiful.

Monthly meetings are scheduled on the first Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm, September through June and are held in Methuen’s Nevins Library located at 305 Broadway (Route 28).
 
Meeting topics vary: many meetings each year feature guest speakers, we have an annual free plant swap and potluck, a Christmas Yankee swap and potluck, we generally have a hands-on workshop per year.  Other meetings are devoted to discussions on our community projects. All are casual and fun and guests are always welcome to attend.

 
  • The Methuen Garden Club maintains the gardens at Town Hall at the Searle’s Building.
