Mayor Domenic J. Sarno and Parks, Buildings, & Recreation Management (PBRM) Director Thomas Ashe joined with the Springfield Garden Club (SGC) including President Janine Boland, for their Annual Meeting and special luncheon at the Monkey House in Forest Park on Friday.
Mayor Sarno and Director Ashe appreciate the support of Springfield Garden Club and their generosity toward the Horticulture and Learning Center project in Forest Park. They were honored to join the SGC celebrating a year of success, growth and friendship.
Mayor Sarno stated, “I always enjoy visiting with our Springfield Garden Club and celebrating the many positive accomplishments we have done throughout our beautiful parks system, especially for our historic and iconic Forest Park. Thank you for welcoming us to your annual meeting. We are proud of our continued collaboration toward the Horticulture and Learning Center and expansion of our flower shows with the SGC which and draws hundreds of people to the Park from across New England. Their upcoming Plant Sale held here in Forest Park at the Monkey House will also be a wonderful showcase of the Garden Club’s beautiful artistry.”
The Springfield Garden Club will hold it’s Annual Plant Sale Saturday, May 31, 2025 from 9 am to noon in Forest Park, 300 Sumner Avenue, Springfield MA in the old Monkey House.
A spring tradition and the Club’s major scholarship fundraiser, this is not the kind of plant sale that focuses on re-selling plants from wholesale growers. Except for a few donations from generous area garden centers, these plants are from members’ gardens or have been grown from seed specifically for the sale.
Th Annual Plant Sale is a major fund raiser for the SGC scholarship program and a lot of fun for club members and our customers alike. SGC LOVES to talk about the plants they are offering and, with many experienced gardeners and Master Gardeners among the members, they can offer useful suggestions on which plants to buy or answers to some of your gardening questions.
