SUMMARY:Ridgefield History Club: Gardens and Gardening in Ridgefield
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\n\nThe Ridgefield History Club topic for Tuesday\, May 20\, 2025\, at 10 a.m. will be “Gardens and Gardening in Ridgefield.” Everyone is welcome to attend this free gathering at the Scott House at 4 Sunset Lane. \n\n\n\nJoin us to share your stories about the town’s gardens—whether they were flower beds\, vegetable plots\, or grand estate landscapes. Did you or your family members work as gardeners on any of the estates in Ridgefield? We’ll share photos of Ridgefield’s gardens from years past. Do you remember a time when backyard gardens were a wartime necessity or a neighborhood staple? Were you part of a garden club or involved in school garden projects? What were the go-to nurseries and garden centers in town over the years? Let’s talk about your favorite heirloom vegetables and flowers\, compost piles\, and victory gardens—and the people who kept Ridgefield blooming. Bring your green-thumb memories and help us cultivate a colorful chapter of Ridgefield’s past. \n\n\n\nThe Ridgefield History Club\, an informal community storytelling program (it’s not a presentation or lecture) of the Historical Society\, meets for an hour on the third Tuesday of every month to share memories and stories related to a specific topic in Ridgefield’s history. The discussion is recorded and cataloged in the Historical Society’s archive to preserve all the stories of Ridgefield’s people\, places\, and events for future generations. It’s also streamed live on Facebook and is uploaded to our YouTube channel. \n\n\n\nEveryone is invited\, just bring your love of history and your curiosity. Some people come to every session while others attend when the topic is of special interest to them. This is a great opportunity to connect with other history enthusiasts and learn something new about our wonderful town. Both longtime residents and newcomers contribute. \n\n\n\nFor more information about this program\, contact the Historical Society at 203-438-5821 or info@ridgefieldhistoricalsociety.org Parking and seating at the Scott House is limited\, and registration is requested for this free program. \n\n\n\nEvent photo caption: Garden of Mary Mitchell\, Ridgefield circa 1925. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here
