Founded in 1976, the Olde Ripton Garden Club (ORGC) of Shelton, Connecticut is a community of garden enthusiasts committed to sharing the love of gardening and conservation.  We provide education in horticulture and assist in beautifying the grounds around public buildings.

Club members work hard every spring to bring beauty to public gardens around town, their hard work doesn’t stop there as members tend to the gardens all throughout the growing season.

Civic gardens include the Huntington Green, front entrance of the Shelton Community Center, Huntington Branch of the Shelton Post Office, Shelton High School, the Shelton Police Department, City Hall, Shelton Public Library and the Shelton Historical Society’s Herb Garden.

To view pictures of the gardens throughout the growing season select the above “Gallery” tab.

Meetings are held March through December (no meetings in January and February.)  They are on the first Monday of the month (except for holidays) and generally start at 10 a.m.

Dues are $35 per year, guests are welcome to attend, there is a $5 Visitor Fee for non-members.
