SUMMER/FALL/WINTER 2026 MEETING SCHEDULE
In the Spring, as they have done every year since 1946, Garden Club members, in small groups, plant, water, and care for many gardens and planters around Gouverneur. The hard work of these volunteers, working in the background, gives our town a splash of color and community pride.
