![]() The Perennial Gardeners of the South Shore, founded in 1992, is an educational, social organization which encourages learning and provides inspiration and fellowship to perennial gardening enthusiasts.
Our meetings are usually the first Monday of the month in the Hingham Public Library. There is a social at 6:30 pm and the scheduled program starts at 7:00 pm. See Programs for information about our next meeting.Directions to the Hingham Public Library from the library site.
Gardeners are optimists. We plant seeds, bulbs and plants with great expectations. Our yards change with the seasons and fall is the perfect time to take stock. Think about what plants to divide; where some plants may be moved; maybe even start new beds; and of course keep some heeled in for our plant sale. This year, like past years, we have many great programs and workshops to improve our abilities and inspire us. Our community involvement will continue with the children’s garden at the Hingham Library and may grow with The Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts new directive titled Golden Days. Additionally, the federation offers programs to educate and encourage gardeners and arrangers. More will be discussed at meetings and check our website for details. New for us is to attend a Norwell Garden Club Potluck on March 11th , where we will observe an associate from the MFA create an arrangement as an interpretation of a piece of art- just what each designer of Art in Bloom experiences. I hope each of you can make it.
I look forward to my first year as president and working with everyone to continue growing the club and developing our skills. We have a great club with many knowledgeable gardeners and hard working individuals. Thank you to all who have helped build our club. Thank you to all who keep it running so well. Thank you to all for taking the time to attend our meetings and share your gardening successes and challenges. It is always a pleasure to see each of you at our meetings!
