Garden Club of Dobbs Ferry

The Garden Club of Dobbs Ferry is a community of civic minded gardeners and nature lovers working together to benefit their village, protect the environment, and encourage gardeners and gardening. Founded over a century ago as a working gardeners’ group, they remain dedicated to their founding mission: to educate, beautify, and support ecological preservation at both local and regional levels.

Club members have rolled up their sleeves for projects ranging from planting crab apple trees and designing pollinator pathways, to vegetable gardening, invasive species removal, and floral design. They also organize plant sales, educational workshops, and guest speakers to inspire curiosity and share practical knowledge.

Through hands-on work and heartfelt commitment, they have given back to the community with time, funds, and expertise—always aiming to make a lasting impact.

As they look ahead, they continue to grow—not only in the garden, but in friendship, community connection, and a shared purpose to care for the natural world.

New members are always welcome—no matter your experience level. If you care about plants, the environment, and your community, there is a place for you here.

Notable Activities: For over a century, this club has fulfilled its mission. It has planted flowering trees in the village, tended local public gardens (including the historic Mead House), and supported pollinator pathway projects. In June 2023, the Garden Club of Dobbs Ferry marked 100 years with events highlighting projects and service to the community, as well as a commemorative bench at Untermyer Gardens Conservancy to mark the milestone.
