Salem Garden Club, Neighbor

For over 80 years the Salem Garden Club has been participating in civic beautification projects throughout Salem. Some projects are planting and maintaining a portion of Washington Street center island, window boxes at City Hall, and the Blue Star Memorial on Hawthorne Boulevard. We provide a monthly flower arrangement at the Salem Public Library, and award a scholarship annually to a deserving high school senior.

To support our projects, we hold an annual Christmas boutique in December featuring freshly decorated wreaths, center pieces, swags, and boxwood trees crafted by Club members. Every 2 years we host a garden tour of private gardens throughout the city to the delight of those touring and the homeowners.
