We invite you to join us for a self guided garden tour and lecture with Page Dickey.

She has written eight books, including, Gardens in the Spirit of Place, Breaking Ground , Inside Out, Duck Hill Journal and its sequel, Embroidered Ground.

One of the many ways the Belfast Garden Club contributes to the community is through their annual donation of horticultural and environmental books to the Belfast Free Library. Sometimes the books cover scientific topics, such as fungi and climate change, while others are how-to in nature.
“Children’s books on these topics are hard to find, but 41 books have been donated so far,” said the Club, in a news release.
While 126 adult books have been placed, the actual number is much higher, according to Allison Beards, Club Historian. She says additional books over the years have been donated as member memorials.

While decorating for the holidays is a tradition, too often strings of burnt out or damaged holiday lights end up being tossed out with household garbage.
There is a greener way to properly dispose of these decorations. Instead of discarding non-working lights in the trash, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders want residents to give them a second life by bringing them to the county’s Resource Recovery Complex, where a permanent electronics disposal center is staffed from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays and from 7-11:30 a.m. Saturdays.
