Club members plant flowers in a designated area on the grounds of the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Public Library. The Garden Club in partnership with the Bay Shore-Brightwaters Library creates Book Bags for circulation. The Book Bags contain seasonally themed books and activities to explore with the aid of an adult companion. Our goal is to cultivate an awareness of our community's history, the environment, and plant seeds that bloom into a sense of belonging and stewardship for the earth.
