Welcome to the Maplewood Garden Club's web site; our online information resource for members and other interested gardeners.

Our membership includes landscape designers, master gardeners and a variety of experts, plus many new home owners and beginning gardeners.

The Maplewood Garden Club seeks to provide a broad range of activities for its gardening enthusiast members including floral design, gardening information, landscaping principles, tours to noteworthy gardens, and community projects. Monthly meetings are held with outside speakers presenting topics along these lines, and several special events are held during the Club year to give "hands on" experience: floral design workshops, a garden walk, wreath-making and decoration of the railroad station at the holidays, a biennial Standard Flower Show and Garden Information Weekend, and our Annual Plant Sale. Community projects include maintaining the Durand-Hedden Herb Garden, and carrying out many beautification projects in our town.

Smaller groups of MGC members propagate plant material for purchase at our Annual Plant Sale, and maintain the Municipal Greenhouse for use by Maplewood residents. The MGC Board also donates books annually to the Maplewood library and grants three horticulture scholarships (one to Columbia HS and two to Rutgers students). The club also sponsors Junior Garden Clubs for 1st - 3rd grades, and 4th - 5th grades.
