The North Shore Garden Club of Massachusetts

Welcome

Welcome to the North Shore Garden Club of Massachusetts, a non-profit 501(c)3 volunteer organization and Garden Club of America member. Founded in 1915, we seek to protect, enhance, and preserve the natural beauty that defines Massachusetts’ stunning North Shore. Our Club is an active member of the local community and can be spotted out and about as we volunteer at Long Hill and Herrick House, photograph the Great Marsh, create pollinator gardens, and advocate for land conservation. NSGC members represent a diverse range of interests from master gardeners to native species champions, flower arranging enthusiasts, photography, horticulture, conservation, and garden design. Our club meets monthly and plans an exciting lineup of guest speakers, workshops and movie nights throughout the year. While the majority of these are members only, we do host events each year where guests are welcome. We hope to see you at one soon!

The North Shore Garden Club of Massachusetts

The first meeting of the North Shore Garden Club was held at Mrs. Philip Dexter’s house in Manchester, MA on July 14, 1915. Fourteen ladies were present, and Mrs. Quincy Shaw was elected the first President. It was decided to have meetings every two weeks during the summer and once a month during the winter. Members took turns as hostess, showing her garden and presenting a paper no more than ten minutes in length.
