The Natick Garden Club takes great pride in its involvement in two
civic projects: decorating the Natick Downtown Containers and
the Morse Institute Library.
Downtown
Containers The
club, in partnership with the Natick Center Associates, is
responsible for planting a total of 47 containers, including
the planters on the bridge over the train tracks, for both the
summer and the winter seasons. The bridge planting is
coordinated with our friends in the Fifteen Gardeners, a
daytime Natick garden club. In the summer, the
containers are filled with a variety of annual flowers and
vines. American flags are added for Fourth of July. Dead
heading by members continues throughout the summer. In
September, mums, asters and kale are added to spruce up the
containers for the fall. In November, winter greenery
donated by members is arranged. Colorful bows are added
for the holidays.

 Morse
Institute Library The
Natick Garden Club is responsible for planting the wrought
iron containers at the front of the library, in May with
annuals and in November, with winter greenery and bows.
The Club is also responsible for the care and upkeep of the
gardens in front of the old and new sections of the Library
and decorating the interior of the library in December with
poinsettias, artificial arrangements and a tree with nature
themed ornaments.
