During the COVID-19 Crisis...

The Dracut Garden Club will be following all state and CDC guidelines. Our in-person meetings and events will be postponed until further notice. While we're all practicing social distancing, however, it is a great time to nurture seedlings and pot up perennials from our gardens. May you find peace and inspiration in nature and gardening during this time.

Thankful for Spring
