Founded in 1952, the Essex Garden Club enters its 75th year in 2026.
As a historic river town, Essex has long valued beauty, stewardship, and community. Our gardens, like our town, tell stories shaped over time by care, continuity, and shared purpose.
The 2026 Hidden Gardens Tour kicked off this milestone year, inviting the community to celebrate the places and people that continue to make the villages of Essex special. Stay tuned for more events!
The Essex Garden Club brings people together through:
Gardening education and hands-on learning
Civic beautification and conservation projects
Scholarships and youth programs
Fellowship, friendship and shared care for our town
2026 marks the beginning of the Essex Garden Club’s 75th year, alongside America’s 250th anniversary.
We invited the community to celebrate with us throughout the year, starting with our Hidden Gardens Tour.
