Once again, our lovely wreaths will be available for sale at the Train Station starting on November 20, 2024. The wreaths are adorned with a variety of our Signature Handmade Bows.
This is our largest fund-raiser of the year. The money earned helps us fund our good works about town, including the scholarships we give to graduating seniors planning to study environmental sciences, horticulture, botany, forestry, conservation, plant sciences, or landscaping.

A late call for volunteers was made earlier this week for members to help bag and hand out the daffodil bulbs for the Saturday, October 19 event. The response was amazing!! At left is Martie Lincoln handing off a bag of bulbs in our drive-up delivery line. We gave away over 3000 bulbs! Thank you one and all!
The Wolfeboro Garden club has purchased 3,000 daffodil bulbs to give away at no cost to the residents of Wolfeboro. Daffodils are easy to plant,
naturalize beautifully, and will bloom each spring for many years to come. Each gift bag (one per household) will include planting instructions to ensure a successful start for the daffodil bulbs.
The bulbs, sourced from Holland through a Maine distributor, will be available for pickup by community members on Saturday, October 19, from 10 AM to 2 PM at Clark Historical Park. Members will deliver gift bags directly to residents' cars.
Club president Deborah Long-Smith emphasized the timely nature of this initiative, stating, “The glorious colors of October in New Hampshire remind us that winter is coming. These beautiful days are ideal for planting spring bulbs, which symbolize hope for brighter days ahead. In the spring, a sea of iconic yellow daffodils will herald the end of winter in our town.”
Martie Lincoln, Chair of the Beautification Commitee, added, “Daffodils are
deer-resistant and thrive in sunny spots with good drainage.”
Vice President Bobbie Stave remarked, “This is our gift to the residents of our community, and by planting these free bulbs, residents contribute their gift back to the community."
Wolfeboro Garden Club members are providing arrangements for the nature/gardening exhibit at the library during the month of October.
Martie and Sandy want to thank everyone who helped make our October library exhibit such a big success with their beautiful, colourful arrangements. Tracey Kolb, Dora Clarkson, Karol Simon, Sarah Hall, Linda Siracusa, Julie Fergus, Martie Lincoln, Sandy Lowe.
Thank you also to our Wreath Committee who provided us with beautiful bows and promotional material to include in our exhibit!
