For over 50 years, the Saybrook Garden Club (SGC) has relied on the dedication of our members to make our community fun and engaging. We host a variety of social events and maintain the aesthetic, communication, and welcoming presence of our neighborhood.

To keep these beloved traditions alive, we require all SGC members to join a committee. Being part of a committee is a fantastic way to meet your neighbors and contribute to our club's success.
