Wollaston Garden Club LINKS These pages are intended to give you some links you can use to go to a site which has been suggested or recommended by a fellow WGC member.  We will try to give you some notes as to what you can expect to find at each site.  The document is presently divided into four  larger categories (Affiliated sites, Gardens, Nurseries and Helpful Hints), as we plan to keep adding information, and hopefully this will help you locate things quickly. Affiliated Organizations WWW.GCFM.org  This is the official site of the Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, and will provide you with the answers to frequently asked questions about the federation, as well as information on all the other garden clubs in the state,  /the site also provides a lot if material regarding by-laws, state and national events, and rules for 501c organizations, www.newenglandwildflower.org  The site of the New England Wildflower society.  Especially interesting is the information on the Garden in the Woods.  WGC will be joining the society in 2008, and will have tickets available for members wishing to take advantage of the tours. www.masshort.org   The official site of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, there are two programs of particular interest to members.  The first is the Elm Bank Horticultural Center in Wellesley, the society’s headquarters, which offers tours and learning experiences.  The second is the New England Flower Show, which is the oldest and longest running in the United States, and which is run by Mass. Horticultural Society.  The WGC will be volunteering again this year, and will also be doing an East Window display.  Dates for 2008 are March 8-16. www.mfa.org  This is the site of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston,  Interesting in and of itself, the major attraction for our members is Art in Bloom, which takes place every spring.

Gardens www.mountauburn.org  One of the most beautiful cemeteries in the country, tours are available daily, and the club has taken field trips on several occasions.  Well worth the short drive to Cambridge.
