The Garden Club of Teaneck is active in township gardening and civic programs. Join us to learn and to have fun while making Teaneck a greener place
to live.
-
Teaneck High School Scholarship Program - As a result
of our fund raisers, the club proudly donates annually to this
worthy cause.
-
Junior Garden Club of Teaneck (JGCT) - From February to October, limited numbers of children meet in a classroom but mostly outdoors in the Jr. Garden Club plot to learn to plant, weed, maintain and harvest
-
Members of the Club donated produce from their gardens to the Food Pantry. More than 100 pounds of fresh tomatoes, peppers, beans, salad and more found their way to community tables.
-
Grace B. Kriegel Memorial Herb Garden - The herb garden
is located between Teaneck Road and the back (non-entrance side) of the town library. It is
a memorial to our esteemed club member, Grace Kriegel.
Volunteers have maintained this garden for many years by weeding, planting new herbs and winter storing in the greenhouse non-hardy plants.
-
Gardening workshops for Hawthorned School Groups - Every year (now that the Covid pandemic is behind us) approximately 350 students (plus teachers, aides) are taught by GCT Volunteers member/ teachers.
