The mission of our Club is to promote interest in the art and practice of gardening, horticultural education and the beautification of the Boothbay region.We serve the Boothbay peninsula and the surrounding area through gardening projects, programs, education and scholarships—fostering deep friendships through working together to make a difference in our environment.We also have a lot of fun!

Perhaps you will want to join our Creative Gardening Committee which plans much appreciated activities for the residents of St. Andrews Village. Possibly youcould participate in educational gardening via our partnerships with the Boothbay and Edgecomb Eddy elementary schools or be on our Program Committee which determines the speakers who will present at our monthly meetings.  We are always looking for volunteers to help plan and execute our “The Sea Around Us” Home and Garden Tour and our annual Holiday Festival and Winter Market.
