| The Natick Garden Club was born in the summer of 1998. Three friends, Marilyn Lustig,
Anne Freeman, and Lisa Weiler, with a love of gardening,
decided an evening garden club was desperately needed in
town. They reserved the lower level community room in the
Morse Library, printed and distributed flyers, and put
announcements in the local papers about the meeting on
Thursday, September 17, 1998. The flyer titled, Something New
is Blooming in Natick, welcomed all levels of gardeners,
beginner or experienced, to attend the founding meeting.
Twenty three enthusiastic gardeners attended and discussed what
the group would like to have for its focus and programs. When
the membership grew too large for the library meeting room, the
club found a home in the First Baptist Church on Common
Street. What began as a seedling of an idea today has grown
into a club of sixty plus members!
