ANNUAL GARDENER’S SALE

— EVERY MAY at the CHESTER TRAIN STATION —


A sure sign of Spring is our club’s annual fund-raising gardeners’ sale, with proceeds to maintain two garden-like parks in the village.

Full-time residents and seasonal visitors alike enjoy finding special treasures at this sale, which features a wide variety of perennials from members’ gardens along with many plants and accessories for the garden brought in by commercial dealers. Surprise items like free mulch or “gently used” garden tools are occasionally on offer.

ANNUAL FLOWER SHOW & TEA

— EVERY JULY at the CHESTER LEGION —


The club’s Annual Flower Show and Tea is a popular mid-summer event that attracts residents and visitors alike.  The competition is open to members and non-members, and their exhibits may be entered as plant specimens in horticultural classes or as flower arrangements in a variety of design classes.
