Litchfield Garden Club ‘Celebrating Connecticut’ Flower Show Sept. 19

A Legacy of Rooted Civic Care

Founded in 1913, the Litchfield Garden Club has spent more than a century shaping and preserving our town’s landscape. From launching its first civic initiative in 1914—planting trees and shrubs at the original Shepaug Railroad station—to helping establish Litchfield’s Historic District in 1959, the club’s impact is visible across town.

Today, member-led initiatives include maintaining the seasonal plantings in the West Street concrete planters, caring for the historic 1890 granite water trough on the Green, propagating historic sycamores, and developing local pollinator and rain gardens.
