Friday, Saturday, Sunday ~ JUNE 14, 15, 16

2024 is an especially special year for the Martha’s Vineyard Garden Club! We are celebrating the Club's Centennial and we hope you will join us at one of our upcoming events! We have both historic and celebratory happenings coming up, with several nods to recounting the Club’s stunning history. Several fundraisers and some members-only events will be sprinkled in, and it all promises to be a lovely tribute to all the founding members and Garden Club members who followed have contributed to the Island over the past 100 years.
The Club’s perennial fundraiser, Blooming Art is slated for June 14, 15 and 16, so we hope you will join us to celebrate the diverse art of Island artists and the talent of its Garden Club members with this annual art and floral event. This year the work of over 35 Vineyard artists will be exhibited with all art available for purchase. The art sold at Blooming Art will benefit the Club. A portion of the proceeds is donated by the artist to the Martha's Vineyard Garden Club’s charitable projects.

The Garden Club's mission is to promote the knowledge and love of gardening and horticulture through the education of our members and the Community. In this way, we can further effect, enhance and protect the beauty of our fragile Island
and support the conservation initiatives of our Club which was founded on in 1924. Fundraisers such as Blooming Art and other events this Summer, help the Martha's Vineyard Garden Club support its ongoing programs, our Club's Scholarship Fund, the Windemere Program and maintenance of the Old Mill through the Old Mill Preservation Fund.
