The Ridgefield Garden Club holds bi-annual plant sale on the first Saturday in May during Ridgefield’s Springfest celebration. The sale features hanging baskets, planters, vegetables, herbs, perennials, annuals, and native plants that support local birds and pollinators. The second is in October during the BirdFest and Bluegrass Festival weekend featuring all native plants.
Funds raised from the sale support community projects such as school gardening programs, produce for local food banks, seasonal plantings in the downtown business district, and free holiday centerpiece crafts during Hometown Celebration in December.
The club also sponsors ivy removal work parties at Abrams Park, native plant installations in community parks, and grants for Ridgefield residents to add native plants to their own yards.
