authorStaff Writer on May 20, 2025

The Garden Club of East Hampton’s 50th annual Garden Party and Plant Sale Fundraiser will take place over Friday, May 23, and Saturday, May 24, at Mulford Farm.

Garden Club members have curated a selection of orchid arrangements, perennials, annuals, geraniums and herbs. The party on Friday also features an extensive silent auction, which includes everything from vacation rentals to art, books, and luxury items donated by local retailers. Hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be served. The proceeds benefit the 12 community gardens designed and maintained by club members in East Hampton, a high school internship program at Third House Nature Center in Montauk, and an annual holiday workshop at the East Hampton Senior Center.

The Garden Club of East Hampton, a member of The Garden Club of America, was founded in 1914 and incorporated in the State of New York in 1998. The purpose of the Garden Club of East Hampton is to stimulate the knowledge and love of gardening, to share the advantages of membership by means of educational meetings, conferences, correspondence and publications, and to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvements.

Tickets for the garden party and silent auction on Friday from 6 to 8 p.m. start at $75 per person and can be purchased in advance at the club’s website at gceasthampton.org or at the door on the evening of the event. Admission to the plant sale on Saturday, May 24, from 9 a.m. to noon is free. Mulford Farm is located at 10 James Lane, East Hampton.
