The Garden Club of Manchester
​
Welcome
With more than 100 members and a recently celebrated centennial anniversary, the Garden Club of Manchester (GCM) has long played a vital role in preserving the beauty and character of Manchester and Dorset.
Through its many projects, the Club helps ensure these communities remain as picturesque as the Green Mountains themselves—reflecting Vermont’s natural splendor and enduring New England charm. Its membership is a vibrant mix of Master Gardeners, skilled floral designers, enthusiastic beginners, and dedicated, community-minded neighbors.
​The work of the club can be seen throughout the Manchester/Dorset and surrounding areas, from civic beautification to conservation to education.
