TOWN BEAUTIFICATION
The Community Garden Club of Duxbury exists, in large part, with a mission to beautify the town. Throughout the year we sponsor fundraising activities to raise the money needed to purchase plants and materials for the 12 garden sites we care for around Duxbury. This is an ambitious program and requires the participation of all of our members in order to water and maintain the sites over the summer months. In addition to the wonderful gift this is to the town of Duxbury, we find that it gives our more experienced members the opportunity to work with newer members to teach gardening “best practices” and that many new, lasting friendships result.

Please sign up for site watering by clicking SUG link below.
Each member should commit to (2) week watering slot at one of the (8) sites around town. Shifts begin Sundays, June through mid September. You will be reminded by email 3 days before your 2 weeks slot.
Please bring: clippers for deadheading, a broom and dust pan, and a means of removing debris from the site, and where necessary, water. Some sites are irrigated and a watering can is ideal, others are on timed in ground systems, and a few sites require importing water. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact the site Captains.
As always, safety is of utmost concern. Orange cones are great to alert cars of your presence and don't forget to wear your apron or safety shirt.
Thank you for being such a vital part of keeping out town beautiful!
- Megan McClure Koss is the Captain ! Please reach out with any questions.
