Who Are We?

The Milford Garden Club is comprised of individuals who share a love of plants and gardening, civic beautification and conservation of resources. The Club meets on the second Tuesday of each month (except January) at one o'clock to share experiences, plan events, expand their horticultural knowledge, and hear authoritative guest speakers.

Community activities include planting and maintaining myriad planters and flower boxes throughout the village of Milford, maintenance of the Ethel Barckley Park on East Ann Street, Remembrance Place and the Dimmick Cemetery on West Ann Street, planting and maintaining the three triangles that serve as points of welcome along the various roads entering Milford Borough, and the organizing of the annual Secret Garden Tour which allows friends and neighbors as well as visitors to Milford to enjoy the lovely private gardens of the area.

The Secret Garden Tour is the Club's major fundraiser, providing monies for the various activities of the Club as well as funding for an annual scholarship awarded at Delaware Valley High School. Plant sales also provide funds.

Luncheons and other informal gathering allow friendships to grow and blossom along with plans for future events. The Milford Garden Club has been growing and flourishing since 1937, providing benefits not only for the senses, but the soul as well.
