This past April 15, The Hills Garden Club of Wellesley celebrated its 70th anniversary at The Wellesley Country Club. All active members, associates, and alumni were invited to attend. And the event, as well as the months surrounding it, have been an opportunity for its members to reflect on the club’s history and the impact it has had on the community.

Founded in 1955, its official stated goal is to generate interest in the science and art of gardening and to “stimulate the promotion of civic beauty through horticulture and conservation.” But as is true with so many mission statements, the real story is a bit more colorful than that. Find out about not only the Club’s history, but its meaning for members over the years, in the Digital Edition of the Summer 2025 Issue of WellesleyWeston Magazine.
