Community Outreach
We believe in growing more than just plants—we grow connections!
The Lenox Garden Club supports educational and environmental efforts around the Berkshires through programs and grants. Through workshops, volunteer projects, and partnerships, we cultivate a deeper appreciation for nature, foster community engagement, and inspire the next generation of gardeners and environmental stewards.
2026 GRANT APPLICATION
The Lenox Garden Club, a member of the Garden Club of America, has
announced that applications for grants funding projects in 2026 are now
available. If you would like an application please email
lgccommunityproject@gmail.com. The grant application deadline is
November 30, 2025.
Grants generally provide funding ranging from $500 to $5000. Grants are
awarded to public or private not-for-profit organizations for specific projects
in and around Berkshire County. These projects must be in line with the
mission of the Lenox Garden Club. Hence, the project should pertain in
some way to areas such as Conservation, Gardens, Environmental
Restoration, Community Beautification or Education. Projects with
significant volunteer involvement will be given priority.

In 2024 the LGC full funded the Hebert Arboretum at Springside Park to restore the front entrance garden to the arboretum. This Pittsfield gateway will enhance the community and will be restored through educational programs and volunteer efforts. See the article below from the Berkshire Eagle:
