About Us
The Garden Club of Amenia Ltd is a recognized exempt organization [501[c]3]. We are a tax-exempt organization registered with the IRS, therefore making donations tax deductible under section 170 of the Internal Revenue Code.
Founded approximately twenty years ago by a few avid local gardeners, including Maxine Paetro, who was instrumental in drumming up support for opening local gardens for more to enjoy! That began a long run of open gardens in the Amenia area for all to enjoy, and donations received were put to good use by planting bulbs and spreading gardening knowledge and town enhancement. Some of those original founders are still encouraging us all and regularly opening their gardens.
Over the years we have held a few different events, and with our recent reorganization we plan to energize our community again. You are probably reading this on our new website. We plan to expand our web site over time, with added newsletters, new functions, and member benefits. Also note the many ways to reach us via the web site feedback, and you can email us any time at ameniagardenclub@gmail.com.
We are a community-based organization, which exists for all to benefit from, but we also rely on donors, sponsors, local business and volunteers. So while we thank all of those, we also invite anyone else to join us as a volunteer, member, or donor, and to find out more contact us at any time.
