Have you ever wondered why the Hanover Town Gardens have played such a significant role in the activities of the Hanover Garden Club through the years? Sandra will take you back in time to how the gardens got started and how they have evolved over multiple decades. It is a fascinating story.

After a long career teaching in public schools and volunteering in the community, Sandra Johnson joined the Hanover Garden Club after retiring. It was the beginning of what has become a passion of all things related to gardening. With no formal training in this area, she became more competent thanks to the monthly programs and knowledgeable garden club members. In 2015, she had the privilege of serving as president of the HGC and working as co-chair with Larry Litten to plan for a new greenhouse for the club. After almost 10 years, club members are finally enjoying the work of so many who came together to make the new greenhouse a reality.

This program is produced in partnership with the Montshire Museum of Science, and is free and open to the public.
