About Us

The Patchogue Garden Club™ was founded in November of 1996 by a group of enthusiasticabout-us
Patchogue gardeners who wished to use their love of gardening in service to their community.

From the club’s inception, a two-fold mission was established: community education and beautification. In pursuit of our educational goal, we have regularly scheduled presentations by knowledgeable and experienced gardeners and educators. As part of our community beautification efforts, the Patchogue Garden Club™ maintains the Village Community Garden on the corner of Terry Street and South Ocean Avenue. This once abandoned unsightly lot has been transformed into an urban oasis with several gardens and a gazebo.

Our Mission is to beautify the Village of Patchogue, and educate the community in matters of design, gardening, and maintenance, with a focus on the continuing design and maintenance of the Village Community Garden on Terry Street and South Ocean Avenue in the Village of Patchogue, Town of Brookhaven, County of Suffolk, New York.
