Chatham Garden Club members nurture and maintain a number of Chatham’s Town Gardens, getting help from the DPW crews and local AmeriCorps and Boy Scout teams when clean-up and mulching require heavy lifting.  You may have seen us in the pink t-shirts, spread across Chatham Town Gardens from April to October each year. Many of you stop to say thanks; many more of you ask who we are, why we are in the gardens and who is paying us for all hours of hard work?  Truth be told, our inspiration and support comes in many forms.  Not the least of which is the recent generous gift of beautiful artwork from Kassie Foss.

Donated to the club in 2024, we are now able to share with you watercolor renderings of ten (10) of our town gardens, packaged into beautiful gift notecards and poster.  As a respected and nationally-known artist, many of you will recognize Kassie's artwork.  As Kassie is also a resident of Chatham, it will come as no surprise that she, too, fell in love with our town gardens.  

With her support and yours, we will be able to continue our work in the gardens, and can also support the environmental efforts of the Town Beautification Committee.   With the help of the Chatham Chamber of Commerce, we are able to offer  4.25”x 5.5” notecards (10 unique paintings in each box), and an “11” x 14” art print that incorporates all ten paintings on an original flower wreath.  These items can be purchased through the Chamber’s online sales channel and also at selected locations throughout the village of Chatham.  Again, our proceeds are used to nurture and maintain gardens with annuals, perennials, natives and pollinators.

We thank you for your support, and look forward to seeing you in our gardens come spring time.  Toot your horn to say hello, or better yet, get out of the car and we will give you a quick tour!
