Join the GCW
New members mean new insights, new experience, new knowledge, and most of all, new friends! We value new members throughout the year, as our focus goes far beyond summer gardens, whether our own or the several community gardens we maintain. Knowledge of gardening is definitely not a prerequisite for joining the Club, but an interest in and enthusiasm for gardening, conservation, the environment, and/or flower arranging will bring you in contact with plenty of like-minded garden enthusiasts. The Garden Club of Wiscasset beautifies our town, supports conservation efforts, works with youth gardeners, organizes educational events, and provides scholarships.
​
Members are asked to attend meetings regularly, join one of our 7 committees, and participate in our annual Plant Sale fundraiser, held on the first Saturday in May. It is a great way to meet people and get involved while working on interesting projects. We have a very active club with a wide range of committees, projects, and activities. Caring for town gardens, making holiday baskets for town buildings, helping with our newsletter, or learning the art of floral design are just some of the many ways in which you can be involved.
​
Meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month at the First Congregational Church in Wiscasset from September to May. Our dues are $25/annually. Our meetings are fun and informative with a brief business meeting, followed by a guest speaker. Tea/Coffee and a delicious assortment of savories and sweets are offered after the presentation.
We are eager to meet you and introduce you to our 80+ members of the club!
To join, just below you will find options to apply and pay dues online, or print a paper application and pay by check. If you have any questions, get in touch with us through our Contact Us page. We look forward to hearing from you!
