Plant Sales, Fundraisers and Special Events

The annual Plant Sale is held in late May. Details are posted on Club Calendar.

Civic Development - Town Planters

8 Town Planters are designed seasonally by WGC members. The 2026 summer planters will utilize native shrubs and herbaceous perennials, some specifically designed to coordinate with the United States Semiquincentennial (250th anniversary). To increase the use of native plants in this community, all the native plants used this summer in planters maintained by the Watertown Garden Club will be given to participants in a WGC Plant Giveaway.

Participants must be local residents of Watertown and Oakville or a current member of the Watertown Garden Club. Planting success depends on variables beyond one's control, but the plants are currently thriving and should be beautiful, healthy specimens for participants to add to their gardens. Details of plants and how to participate can be found HERE.

Civic Development - Gardens

The spring, summer and fall flowers in the Oakville Post Office garden are awesome. The garden was expanded in 2021 with new plants and bulbs. This all-season garden was envisioned by a long-time resident of Oakville to honor his Mom's devotion to the beauty of flowers.
