Message from our President:
August, 2025
Dear Bridgewater Garden Club members,
I’m excited to kick off my second year as President of our garden club- ready to grow more than plants this season.
As we enter the new year, I look forward to continuing our current community, school, and student-oriented projects, including:
- Creating a pollinator-themed Christmas tree for the Environmental Education Center’s Festival of Trees through our MLK Youth Center Project.
- Supporting our award-winning Therapy Garden at the Somerset County Adult Day Care Center
- Granting a yearly Achievement Award to an outstanding graduating senior in the Agricultural Science department at Somerset County Vo-Tech.
In addition to maintaining membership, hospitality, yearbook, social events - including our now annual tea - and our annual boxwood fund raiser, we have plenty of things to keep us busy!
Now that I’ve completed my first year as your president, I know I’ll still need your support. I welcome your thoughts and look forward to everyone’s participation in new and current activities.
Happy Gardening
Marianne Morrone, President
