Please call Kerrie Flanagan at 860 349-6520 by October 31 to place your order.  

The wreath sale is the club’s main source of revenue. The club recently replanted the triangle at Routes 17 & 79, adding a farm implement to the colorful mix of annuals and perennials.

A major project has been tree planting and, this spring, the club planted eight trees, four at the library and four at the entrance road to the high school complex.

Members also plant and maintain the gardens at Town Hall, Korn School, and Brewster School. The club funded a garden at Coginchaug Regional High School and contributed to the landscaping at the Durham Public Library  It also provides holiday wreaths for Town Hall and the library.
