Beautifying Bath since 1957
Founded in 1957 as the garden club for women who work professionally, we still schedule monthly meetings (gatherings) in the evenings to accommodate the busy lives of women! Most of the field trips we plan are scheduled on Saturdays as much as possible.
Our name, Bath Gamma Garden Club, has an historical significance related to the time period. Gamma indicates the numerical order of the development (founding) of multiple garden clubs, which existed in Bath at that time. We were the third of four clubs that formed (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta). Today, we are the only remaining club from that era. With the onset of environmental concerns currently in our culture, we foresee a long, "green" future ahead of us in the landscape of possibility. Our goal is preserve the legacy of community landscape for younger generations.
Members plan, install plantings, water and weed our own well-loved gardens as well as the four public gardens we created in Bath to keep Bath beautiful. We come together to share ideas, trends, methods and, of course, FUN! New members are always welcome. (Beginner gardeners encouraged!)
We share our interests in the love of gardening and nature with each other at our monthly meetings and with our community through published articles and community-wide events. (Look for "Plant of the Month" in the Bath Country Journal). Our Annual Community Seminar and Raffle is well known and free to the public — always a fun evening with loads of gifts baskets and prizes.
