STOCKTON GARDEN CLUB
Haggin Museum
Entry Flowerbed
Beginning in May 2024, we have had the privilege of improving and maintaining the large flower bed in front of the Haggin Museum on Pershing Avenue. We currently have a Blue Star Memorial Plaque placed here, so we're very excited about this new project and we welcome your help.
​
Contact us if you are interested. The bed is currently overgrown and needs much loving care. Help us with plant ideas, pulling weeds and expired plants and replanting to create a beautiful welcoming garden bed for visitors coming to the park and museum.

Rescue Mission
Our Club Members have worked alongside the Mission's Program Students to guide, teach and assist in gardening, planting, soil preparation and maintaining plants. We visit periodically to check on progress and see if we can assist in other ways. We're hoping to help them enlarge their produce selections in the future to use in their kitchen.
