Plum Beach Garden Club
ESTABLISHED 1927
Plum Beach Garden Club
is a group of
gardeners dedicated
to community
beautification,
environmental
conservation
and education.
The sale of custom engraved bricks in the walk of Old Library Park has been a major source of fund raising for PBGC since 1997. We hope you will buy one or more to honor family, friends, pets, special events, etc. -- which will support our work in the community. Thank you.

Hands-On Education
As part of its Youth Education mission, members of PBGC visited second graders at the Suzanne M. Henseler Quidnessett Elementary School to explain the iimportance of monarch butterflies as pollinators.
Together they planted a milkweed garden. The underside of certain milkweed leaves is the only place monarchs lay their eggs. Which is why milkweed is essential to the existence of monarch butterflies.
