2025 Year to Remember

Historyadmin2024-02-20T18:28:23-05:00

1925 and Early Years

The Shippan Point Garden Club was officially established in October, 1925.

In its early years, the Club held regular meetings, often in members’ gardens or homes, to create an opportunity to learn about gardening from one another and to exhibit horticultural samples and flower arrangements.

In May of 1926 the Club organized a Plant Exchange for members that evolved into the annual May Market plant sale that is open to the public, usually scheduled for the day before Mother’s Day.

1950 - 1975

Educational Flower Shows were held to celebrate both the Twenty-Fifth and Fiftieth Anniversaries of the Club.

1975 - 2000

Since 1995 The Shippan Point Garden Club has been awarding scholarships to graduating Stamford resident high school seniors who plan to attend college for the study of biology, environmental sciences and related subjects.

2000 and now

The year 2000 marked the Garden Club’s Seventy-Fifth Anniversary. The Shippan Point Community Welcome Garden and its welcoming sign at the entrance to Shippan Point were a gift from the Garden Club to the community in celebration of this anniversary.

In addition to the Welcome Garden, the gardens planted and maintained by the club include:

  • Gateway Garden opposite the Welcome Garden
  • Traffic circle garden at Fairview Avenue
  • Triangle garden near the Marion Castle
  • Entrance gardens at Katrina Mygatt Recycling Center
  • Allee of cherry trees and nooks along Magee Avenue

The club is continually committed to tree planting on Shippan, including replacement of trees on Shippan Avenue, cherry trees on Fairview Avenue and the cherry trees along Magee Avenue at the entrance to Shippan Point.

The Shippan Point Garden Club (SPGC) is a 501(c)(3) organization.

The SPGC is a member of the following organizations:

The Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut, Inc. (FGCCT)

New England Region (NER)

National Garden Clubs, Inc. (NGC))
