2025/26 Message : Our year, 2024-25, was monumental for the Haddonfield Garden Club. We hosted our first joint meeting since 2018, achieving it with grace, teamwork, and under budget! The accolades we received from the Moorestown and Pinelands Garden Clubs were astounding, confirming that strength in numbers indeed reigns supreme. Our trusty annual yearbook received the Certificate of Merit with Gold Seal from The Garden Club of New Jersey. An award that, in the past, we had disregarded because our yearbook was sufficient for us, and we did not need approval. Once we received the acknowledgment for our work, it made us smile because we were recognized. We participated in our town’s Earth Day event to demonstrate support for the day's importance and to promote our club. The Haddonfield Garden Club is almost 120 years old, and many residents are unaware of our existence. Our biggest fundraiser brought out the town, and we announced our presence back in King's Court with beautifully crafted flower arrangements and healthy plants from our gardens, yielding the most significant profits since the COVID- 19 pandemic. Our March meeting on plant polymers drew a record number of guests, surpassing the attendance of our past programs. Word of mouth, social media, and outstanding program reputation are the result of our dedicated club. Moving forward to 2025-2026, we have so much to build upon. Committee chairs are in their second year, and the unknown is in the past. For our members who are veterans at their post, we are grateful that you continue to show passion, enthusiasm, and inclusion each month. Please encourage new members, support our programs and fundraisers, and share your talents by decorating the library with flowers and providing hospitality. Don't wait for the call; step in. Please bring your ideas; we welcome new perspectives. Celebrate milestones; they make the destination worth the journey. Congratulations to us on our 120th Anniversary! Jenn Fuller MaryClare Malady
