Original work by BGC member Pam Allen which depicts the dramatic Catalpa speciosa next to the City of Bath Fire & Rescue Station at High & Winter Streets and illustrates our theme for the year of “a salute to our trees”. Bath has over 15,000 trees including 15 state champions. See our tree hints.

Active Membership is open to all who are interested in the objectives of the Club and will obligate themselves to participate in Club activities and committees. The club holds an annual Plant Sale on the third Saturday in May. Proceeds are used for camperships, civic beautification, Plant-a-Row for the Hungry and other youth gardening activities, and garden therapy projects. We support the Backyard Wildlife Habitat, native plantings and conservation awareness.

Unless otherwise noted, meeting location is at Grace Church, 1100 Washington Street, Bath.  Entry and parking off Edwards Street.
Unless otherwise noted, all meetings begin with a social hour & lunch at noon.  Meeting and program at 12:30 pm.
