About The Bayberry Garden Club of Brielle

The object of the Bayberry Garden Club of Brielle shall be to stimulate an active interest in horticulture; to promote civic improvement; to encourage environmental conservation; to advocate the preservation of trees, shrubs, and wildflowers; to prevent extinction of birds, wildlife, and aquatic animals; to study the art of flower arranging, and to exhibit in club flower shows.  We are a member of the National Council of State Garden Clubs, Inc. and the Garden Club of New Jersey.

The Bayberry Garden Club of Brielle meets the second Tuesday of the month at Curtis House, 644 Union Lane, Brielle, NJ beginning at 10:00 AM for coffee and chit chat.  Following a business meeting which starts promptly at 10:30 AM, the club members are treated to lunch by the monthly committee of members at 11:30 AM.  A guest speaker or other instructional activity which may sometime require travel to a location such as the Manasquan Reservoir, a county park or other horticultural, environmental, or nature locale follows lunch at 12:30 PM. We have our annual luncheon with officer inductions that is strictly a social gathering in June.  We do not officially meet in July or August, but may have committee meetings to plan Brielle Day fund-raising or other activities.  We plan a joint meeting with The Holly Club of Sea Girt each October.  We share the cost of that program which begins at 12:30 PM, after an 11:30 luncheon where the two clubs switch between providing sandwiches or desserts.

Our next meeting is Tuesday, September 14, 2010 at 10:30 AM.  Meet for coffee and chit-chat at 10:00 AM.  Brielle Day is Saturday, September 11, 2010

Guests are welcome to come and experience a meeting.  Our Second Vice President, in charge of Membership, will be glad to answer any questions you may have.  Her telephone number is 732-458-6373.
