The Chelmsford Garden Club Receives Chelmsford Outstanding Citizen Award 2016

The Chelmsford Garden Club was presented Citizen of the year award by the town of Chelmsford. We were one of 5 recipients. This award was for all community service projects we do around our town. The award is for all our club members that work relentlessly to make our many programs successful. We especially should recognize those that participate in our annual fund raiser, without this revenue we wouldn’t be able to accomplish our many endeavors. Some of the projects we have done over the last year are listed below. The Chelmsford Garden Club is a member of the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts.

Plant & Maintain Seasonal Plantings at Town Offices, Vinal Square in North, Center Watering Trough, and the Sundial on the Common.

Maintain the Butterfly Garden at Red Wing Farm

Plant hundreds of daffodils at numerous public spaces each fall.

Celebrate Arbor Day each year with a ceremony and plant a tree. Last year we planted a Kwanzan Cherry Tree at town offices.

We hold workshops at Palm Manor Nursing Home and the Sr. Center seasonally throughout the year.

We provide seasonal plants at the main Library and children’s area of the library.

Annual award of a $1,000 Scholarship to a Chelmsford student.

Monthly reach out to a club homebound member with a friendly floral bouquet.

The residents of Chelmsford are looking forward to the Chelmsford Public Garden (former fire station location to be established by our club this spring.

Our town is truly appreciative of all we do to make Chelmsford a special place to call home.
