The Garden Club RFD in Middletown continues to be concerned with the plight of pollinators and the lack of pollination of many plants. The National Garden Club (of which Garden Club RFD is a member) is among the organizations in the forefront of those working to improve the survival rate of pollinators. The club is intimately connected with promoting the survival of the creatures that help to provide the fruits and vegetables eaten each day.
At Garden Club RFD in Middletown, a working garden club, concern for pollinators and pollination of plants is just one aspect of the areas in which the club has become involved.
Others include the care of the herb garden at Middletown’s historic Marlpit Hall; working with residents of Sunrise Senior Living (Brighton Gardens) in a hands-on gardening and crafts program; meeting with the Daisy Troop of Nut Swamp School to encourage a love of gardening among the children; providing design classes for flower arrangements to encourage participation in February’s Garden Club of New Jersey’s State Flower Show as well as developing a skill that will beautify the home; and caring for the grounds surrounding the Little Red Schoolhouse.
