Andover Garden Club Launches 2020-2021 Year Outdoors

Club Learned about History and Horticulture in Lowell Cemetery

The Coronavirus pandemic is challenging organizations whose members normally gather indoors in large numbers.

The Andover Garden Club surmounted this obstacle by launching its 2020-2021 year with a tour of the Lowell Cemetery. An historian and a horticulturist accompanied the enthusiastic group around this special resting place, which is the third-oldest garden cemetery in the United States.
