Sayville Garden Club Gives Out Beautification Awards

The Sayville Garden Club recently honored three homes beautification awards for their gardens.

The winners were the Stallones on Benson Avenue in Sayville, Christine Cannon on Brook Street in West Sayville and the Batterberry garden on Candee Avenue in Sayville. These awards are some of the many service projects that the club does each year, according to the club's Facebook.

The Club maintains a vegetable garden at the Roosevelt Estate and donates the produce to area organizations. It takes care of the 9-11 Memorial Garden near Brown's River and the Herb Garden at the Sayville Historical Society.

Members plant and weed gardens at Sparrow Park and the Gillette House. The Club hosts flower shows, an Annual Luncheon, and a Garden Tour which are all open to the public. High school seniors with interests in ecology and related topics are recognized each year with college scholarships. These are just some of the Club's activities.

"The Club welcomes new members who would be interested in learning more about flowers, gardening, and Long Island ecology, as well as people who might like to help with these neighborhood projects and a variety of other ones," the club said on Facebook.
