As National Garden Week unfolds from June 1-7, the Duck River Garden Club invites the community to join in the celebration across Old Lyme and East Lyme. This week promises a vibrant array of activities that will not only enrich your gardening knowledge but also foster a deeper connection with nature and fellow gardening enthusiasts.
Imagine the warm sun on your face as you attend a dedication of a birdhouse at the Old Lyme Historical Society, or the joy of creating a mini flower arrangement to take home.

Paint a vivid picture of the week’s activities, embracing the sights, sounds, and emotions. As you write, remember to invite those who love gardening, and even those who are new to it, to get involved and revel in the beauty of nature together. Let your words inspire a thriving garden community!
