Celebrating Over 90 Years!
“I think that no matter how old or infirm I may become, I will always plant a large garden in the spring. Who can resist the feeling of hope and joy that one gets from participating in nature’s rebirth.”

Civic Beautification Awards
​
Since 1998, The Garden Club of Harwich has been awarding annual Civic Beautification Awards to both a residential and a commercial property in the Town of Harwich. These awards are given in recognition of their contribution to making Harwich a beautiful place to live, work and play!

Each year club members nominate beautiful properties and the committee visits and votes on the best. The awards are presented at the October Garden Club meeting.
