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.
