Fairfield Garden Club To Host 2026 Spring Flower Show In May

FAIRFIELD, CT — The Fairfield Garden Club will host its 2026 Spring Flower Show on May 1 and 2 at the Fairfield University Bookstore. The free, two-day exhibition is themed “Home Sweet Home: Back to Nature” and marks the club’s first flower show in a decade.

Organizers say the event is intended to highlight the work of the club’s more than 150 members in gardening, floral design and conservation, while inviting the public to learn more about the group’s community efforts.

The theme draws inspiration from Mabel Osgood Wright, the club’s first president in 1915 and an early voice in the American conservation movement. Quotations from her 1894 book, The Friendship of Nature, will be featured in the show’s schedule materials.

"We are very excited to welcome local Fairfield residents and visitors to what is sure to be an inspiring and insightful show – our first in a full decade," says The Fairfield Garden Club President Sherry Rago. "Beyond the competitive work that will be showcased, I also appreciate the opportunity to a shine a spotlight on the projects and programs our club commits to on behalf of our town."

The Fairfield Garden Club is a member of the Garden Club of America, a national network of about 200 clubs with approximately 18,000 members. According to the organization, its mission includes promoting gardening, conservation and civic improvement through education and community engagement.

The flower show will include judged divisions in horticulture, floral design, photography, botanical arts, education and needle arts.

Additional information is available at the club’s website.
