Annual Plant Sale

The membership finally got to visit with each other for the first time this year at the Annual Plant Sale. It was a beautiful day and the plants flew off the tables. Thank you to everyone who helped make this the best sale we have ever had!

It's Never Too Early...

A group of hearty Ways and Means committee members met to sort four enormous containers of pine cones to decorate for the 2021 Wreath and Arrangement sale. Here they are in action-Covid style!!!

Lynne Braley - Our 2020 Unsung Hero

NGC Presidents past and current recently met with Lynne Braley, presenting her with a bouquet of flowers and the 2020 Unsung Hero Award, a certificate of merit for her outstanding service to the Needham Garden Club. This belated recognition was very long in coming. We will honor Lynne as soon as we can all meet together again.

This year's Needham HS Scholarship Winner
​Ellie Hoffmeister

Needham High School student, Ellie Hoffmeister, was this year's recipient of the annual Needham Garden Club Scholarship. The award is given to a student who has shown enthusiasm in the study of horticulture and concern for the environment and who will continue to study at the college level. 
During her Needham HS years, Ellie was Captain  of the Varsity Ski Team, Captain of the JV Soccer team and was a member of the Cradles to Crayons Club. She was on the Honor Roll all four of her high school years and was a member of the National Honor Society. 
In September, Ellie will enter Lehigh University, where she plans to major in Environmental Science and Public Health. 
Martha Schleck and Jane Lischewski, co-presidents of the Needham Garden Club, presented the check to Ellie. Funds for the scholarship were raised from proceeds from the Garden Club's Spring Plant Sale and the Annual Wreath and Arrangement Sale. Click here to see Ellie's thank you note.
