“Making Wilton Beautiful" Launches Fundraising Campaign

While this summer wasn't what anyone expected, the lamppost flower baskets containing cheery bursts of pink and purple that greeted everyone passing through Wilton's downtown certainly helped lift some spirits. Just as a pretty garden can make you happy, the beautiful plantings in town make a difference.

The “Making Wilton Beautiful” campaign, in collaboration with the Wilton Garden Club, would like to continue its fundraising efforts to ensure that we always have flowering baskets in the future and for other town beautification projects. The annual cost of the flowers is approximately $4,000, and the baskets need to be ordered in early January in order to give the grower time to purchase flower plugs and grow out the baskets by Memorial Day weekend. Every donation large or small will be appreciated.

To make a donation by credit card, visit the Wilton Garden Club’s website at wiltongardenclub.org. Donations can also be made by check, payable to “Wilton Garden Club” and mailed to: Wilton Garden Club, P.O. Box 121, Wilton, CT 06897. All donations are tax-deductible and will be acknowledged.
