Town Gardens Maintained by the Club
The Chatham Garden Club, with support from the Town Park and Recreation Department, designs and maintains nine gardens. They vary in size from window boxes at the Town Hall on Main St. to the extensive gardens bordering the Oyster Pond. Members volunteer their time and effort every two weeks throughout the summer, with major clean-ups in the Spring and Fall.

The Sears Park garden is located in the center of town. It is the site of the Civil War Memorial. The club is currently working on a complete renovation of this garden.
