On October 30, 2019, Club President Joanne McKendry and Corresponding Secretary Norma Jean Macauto attended the annual Federated Garden Clubs of Connecticut awards luncheon. The Garden Club of Brookfield was pleased to be awarded the Mary Freng Sherley Memorial Award for Excellence in Horticulture for its programs last year following the May 2018 macro-burst. The Club also received a Certificate of Achievement for its Garden Therapy program at the Brookfield Senior Center. Many thanks to our members and friends, whose support and contributions make our programs possible. Congratulations, too, to the many CT garden clubs that received awards and recognition at the luncheon.
