LONDONDERRY, Vt. – Every year in early May, the Green Mountain Gardeners fan out in the Mountain Towns to clean winter debris from local public gardens to get ready for spring.
In recent weeks, the group has tended the gardens at the Farrar-Mansur House in Weston, the Landgrove Meeting House, and the raised beds at the Londonderry Volunteer Rescue Squad building. A few years ago, the group created the doorway garden at the Custer Sharp House, home to the Londonderry Arts and Historical Society, and keeps improving it annually, too.
This public garden work is an important part of the club’s commitment to community service. In 2025, the club was proud to be recognized for this annual work with an award from the Federated Garden Clubs of Vermont, its parent organization.
The Green Mountain Gardeners foster horticulture, beautification, and conservation in the Mountain Towns of Landgrove, Londonderry, Peru, and Weston. In addition, the group also serves its communities through beautification and service projects. Visit their website, www.greenmountaingardeners.net, to learn more or to join the organization.
