The Garden Club of Orange is planning a 90th anniversary celebration on June 6 at the gymnasium at Holy Infant Church in Orange.
The Club began in 1930 with a group of 23 women from Orange who had a love of gardening and promoting the beautification of the town’s gardens. Today, the Garden Club of Orange continues to plant and maintain annual flowers on the Town Green, conducts an annual May Market, conducts educational demonstrations at the Orange Country Fair, maintains the herb garden at the Stone Otis House, decorates wreaths for town buildings in December and the biannual holiday house tours.
Larry Huzi and Gail Nixon, the club are leading the planning for the celebration, which will include a small standard flower show, demonstrations, a master gardener, boutique, children’s activities and a raffle.
