New Signs Mark our Civic Gardens

As part of its mission, the Garden Club of Brookfield supports the maintenance of several gardens in town. Throughout the growing season you have likely seen our members raking, weeding, trimming, and planting the flower beds and borders. The club is pleased to have recently completed a project to design, make and install signs in each of those civic gardens – helping make our presence known. Our logo – a thistle – is prominently displayed in the center of the sign indicating the club name.
