Townsend Garden Club "This is the place to learn gardening in Montana from club members that garden here!"

President - Jackie Duczek

The Townsend Garden Club was organized and federated on June 18, 1954. Our members support various community projects. We meet on the second Saturday of each month at the EMT Training Center located at 417 Broadway, Townsend, Montana. Membership is open to everyone. Come meet with people who like to garden! Please contact Marilyn Lane (266.5172) or Ruth Layton (266.5376) for more information.

Members support various community projects, including

  • planting and care of Gwen's garden in Massa Park
  • planting flower barrels in town
  • landscaping the Townsend welcome rock on Highway 187
  • a summer flower show
  • participation in the county fair and parade
  • sponsoring a "native plant" walk/identification
  • Mother's Day plant sale held (the Saturday before) to raise funds for a Broadwater County student scholarship
  • senior gardening therapy
  • Blue Bird trail
  • Museum Festival at Christmas time.

The Townsend Garden Club completed a Blue Star Memorial Marker project for Veterans' Park. Members and American Legion Post #42 raised funds to install the Marker, flowers, and beautiful cement work.

The Club assisted with the design and planting of the native plant landscaping in front of the Broadwater County Courthouse.
