Through symposiums, field trips, roundtable forums and civic projects, the Carlisle Garden Club enhances our knowledge of gardening and landscape design. We discuss the unique challenges of gardening in Carlisle and share our success stories. We work to beautify Carlisle's public spaces and our private domains.
Our activities include:

MEETINGS

Meetings are held once a month from September through June. A typical meeting consists of a presentation or workshop followed by refreshments and a short business meeting. In addition, we hold round table forums where members meet and exchange information and tips on local suppliers and plants that will grow and thrive in Carlisle. While most meetings are limited to Garden Club members and guests, several programs each year are open to the general public.

TOWN BEAUTIFICATION

Throughout the year we plant, maintain and provide seasonal decorations for some of Carlisle's public areas, including Town Hall, the Carlisle School, the Town Common and rotary. We currently are working on several projects to enhance the beauty of Carlisle with town organizations including Girl Scouts, Council on Aging, Cultural Council, Gleason Library, and the Historical Society.

COUNTRY GARDEN TOUR AND PLANT SALE

Our popular Country Garden Tour, takes place in June of odd-numbered years and showcases a range of Carlisle gardens both formal and eclectic. The tour and our yearly plant sales raise funds for civic projects and college scholarships for Carlisle residents.

SCHOLARSHIP

The Debbie Wright Scholarship is awarded each year to help fund further education.

LIBRARY

Members of the Garden Club take turns providing a floral arrangement to the library. We purchase numerous books and videos connected with all aspects of horticulture for the library. We also provide passes to several local attractions for residents' use.
