Second Graders
Help Pollinators Survive
As part of their Youth Education program, members of Plum Beach Garden Club engaged with 45 second graders at Fishing Cove Elementary School to plant milkweed.
They discussed the importance of Monarch Butterflies as pollinators, and that milkweed is essential to the survival of the Monarch population.
They also talked about other pollinators that are endangered, especially bees, and how we can help them survive.
Where there's a will there's a way .... On a steamy August day, the Board of Directors of PBGC found a nice shady spot under a tree, brought their lawn chairs, and had an in-person meeting ... safely distanced of course. Sure beats the Zoom meetings.
Monthly club meetings usually start in April every year ... except not in 2020! Hopefully in-person meetings can begin again soon. But in the meantime, members continue to groom and maintain the club's many community beautification projects in North Kingstown.

October 2020 • Harriet Powell, center in photo, has been honored for her dedication to the rescue of pollinators with an Award of Excellence from Plum Beach Garden Club, presented by President Kathleen Romeo (left) and Pollinator Chair Carol Gjelsvik (right).
Harriet’s activism in educating people about the plight of the pollinators and what each of us can do to restore their numbers has made a difference in our community. Harriet played a leadership role, in partnership with Plum Beach Garden Club, in the establishment of the Pollinator Habitat at Casey Farm.

End-Of-Main Garden ...
a new PBGC Project
In fall of 2022 club members Sue Smith, Darlene Vincent and Christine Fernald received permission from North Kingstown for Plum Beach Garden Club to renovate and maintain a garden at the end of Main St near the entrance to Gardner’s Wharf. This is one of the most visited locations in Wickford -- it offers a peaceful place to enjoy Wickford harbor and the activities on the waterfront. This project was started late in the season so the full glory of this garden will evolve during the summer of 2023.
95 Years and Going Strong
More than 250 guests gathered at The Dunes Club in September 2022 for a fundraising luncheon and a celebration of 95 years of service to the community by Plum Beach Garden Club.
