Ongoing Events

​

Annual Plant Sale

​

Each year the Club sponsors a plant sale at the Hillsdale Railroad Station.  Rain or shine, Sundial's Plant Sale will have large variety of annuals, perennials, and herbs plus plants from members' own gardens.  Pollinator friendly and deer-resistant plants will be featured.  The sale runs from 8am to 3pm on the Saturday before Mother's Day.  Come early as the sale is very popular.

​

Veterans’ Memorial Home Gardens

 

Since 1997, Sundial Garden Club members have maintained two gardens at the Veterans’ Memorial Home in Paramus, NJ. Evergreens, deciduous shrubs, and perennials were planted on either side of the entrance walk. 

 

Within the “Garden of Love,” a protected courtyard where residents spend time with family and friends, Sundial has planted three square raised beds with perennials. Flower color and varieties are chosen to encourage the interest of long-term residents.

 

From April through October, members keep the gardens in good condition. Special thanks to the many members who have signed up to water, prune, and weed the gardens throughout the season.

Decorating Skylands Manor

Garden Tours

A tour of members’ gardens occurs on a Saturday in June or July, usually in alternate years.  This much-enjoyed social event is also a way to appreciate fellow gardeners’ efforts.

Garden Therapy Workshop

The residents of Hillsdale House are invited to a workshop to create plantings in pots for their windowsills.  Sundial members enjoy guiding and interacting with the participants.
