| The Blue Hill Garden Club |
| Serving the Blue Hill, Maine community for 77 years. Post Office Box 1118, Blue Hill, Maine 04614 |
About us: The Blue Hill Garden Club, through its meetings and programs, seeks to promote the study of
horticulture, environmental preservation, birds, and butterflies. Town beautification projects are a special
focus. Together, our members represent many years of gardening experience, and willingly share their
knowledge with one another and with newcomers.
The Club meets on the third Tuesday of each month, April through September, plus a Christmas Party in
December. Members are notified each month of the time, topic, and place of the meeting. Depending upon
the topic, we may meet in a public place, such as the library, or we may gather in the home or garden of one
of our members. We sometimes tour nearby public gardens and nurseries.
Every few years, we sponsor the Blue Hill Garden Tour to raise funds for our town beautification projects.

Our meetings are open to all who love gardening. If you would like to attend a meeting to learn more about
us, you are welcome. For membership information and/or application, click here.
