The Beautification of Rockport
The essence of the word “to beautify” is an oversimplification when it comes to the heart of a gardener. When a group of gardeners are gathered to plant and grow, they change the terrain of their community. As a body of men and women who strive to nurture the earth and create color, scale and proportion from the gifts of mother nature, not tame but co-habit with grace, that is beautification. Our hands-on work in the dirt is dedicated to Rockport, Maine, where mother nature left one of her most beautiful hand prints.
Scholarships
Garden Club Scholarships are awarded for the pursuit of horticultural or environmental related degrees. They are awarded to CHRHS graduating seniors. The scholarship committee reviews all applications and makes the decision as to which applicant(s) receive an award and the dollar amount of that award.
Membership
The Rockport Garden Club cultivates and encourages the art of gardening together through the beautification of the Rockport community. In addition to a love of gardening, the club offers scholarships for high school students, who are interested in studying horticulture. Our major fundraisers include the Annual Plant Sale, held in June, and the Holly Berry Fair, held in December.
Rockport Garden Club meets on the first Thursday of every month, April through December in the lower level of the West Rockport Baptist Church, 545 Park Street.
