The Garden Club of Harrington Park welcomes you to our website. Please browse around the site - we've got lots of good information including our monthly newsletter, what to do monthly in your garden, and pictures of the barrels the Garden Club plants each year under the "Downtown Beautification" button.
Just to tell you a little bit about us; the Garden Club of Harrington Park holds General Meetings the first Thursday of every month (except when otherwise noted) September through June in the Harrington Park Library (second floor). The meetings begin at 7:30 P.M. and include a lecture by a guest speaker on various gardening topics. Each meeting we have a floral contest, whereby members interpret a given theme (see below). We have a Field Trip at the end of our Club year, along with a luncheon. Our meetings are open to everyone who loves a garden and gardening.

Mary Jo Sichak
Master Gardener
Mary Jo is a Master Gardener, Naturalist, and Photographer with extensive teaching and speaking experience. Her own garden has been listed in The Garden Conservancy’s Open Days Directory and has been featured by the Ringwood and Oakland Area Garden Clubs.
She has a love of nature and an interest in capturing what she sees through photography, using it as a means of preserving the beauty of the moment and allowing it to be shared with others.
It is the combination of nature, art and education that prompted her to create a series of talks focused on the natural beauty that exists in northern New Jersey, allowing her to share it with audiences across the state.
Date: May 1st, 7:30 P.M.
Speaker: Mary Jo Sichak
Topic: "Garden Safari"
We are delighted to welcome back Guest Speaker Mary Jo Sichak at our meeting on Thursday, May 1st at 7:30 P.M., upstairs in the Harrington Park Library, 10 Herring Street. Mary Jo’s program for the evening is ”Garden Safari”.
A healthy garden is home to a vast and diverse community of wildlife. Mary Jo’s program is a fun photographic look at life in her garden and the many creatures, both great and small, that live in or pass through, as part of their daily routine. A focus of her program is the growing importance of our home gardens as a habitat for wildlife in our area today.
The program will be followed by a “Q & A” session and refreshments.
