The Northampton Home and Garden Club was established in 1969 for the
beautification of our neighborhood. The original club was limited to 30 members
and many Northampton women found themselves on a waiting list. This enthusiastic interest in gardening and socializing led to the formation of another garden club, The Northampton Pines Garden Club, in the early 1970's.

For many years Northampton's beautiful esplanades were cared for by members
of our club. This included lawn care as well as planting the day lilies that
still bloom in Northampton today.

We offer many informative programs that encompass all interests. The Northampton
