🌸 Congratulations on 30 years of growing together! 🌿

The Southern Maine Garden Club recently gathered at the historic Sweat-Morin Homestead to honor three decades of community, conservation, and growth.

Over the years, the club has brought together local gardening enthusiasts dedicated to horticultural education, civic beautification, and environmental preservation. Celebrating this milestone at the restored 18th-century homestead was a fitting tribute the group's deep community roots.

Join us on Saturday, August 15 at Sweat-Morin Homestead to explore how strict legal, religious, and patriarchal systems confined women to the home while reserving public authority exclusively for men.
