From community workshops
on non-toxic cleaning products and habitat restoration for Eastern bluebirds to the use
of environmentally-friendly products in our yards and the public spaces we maintain, members of the Suffield
Garden Club are dedicated
to responsible gardening and living in the 21st century.



From our Purpose

The objectives of the club are... to aid in the protection of trees, plants and birds... and to instill a respect for the environment.


From our Constitution
I give my pledge as an American to save and faithfully defend from waste the natural resources of my country-- its soil, minerals, its forests, waters and wildlife.
