Note Cards Readied for Sale to Benefit Historic Hubbell Garden

On a chilly Monday morning Garden Club members turned their efforts indoors, gathering at Abby LePage’s home to package note cards which will be sold to benefit the Hubbell Garden at the historic Bradley-Hubbell House on Black Rock Turnpike in Easton. 

Designed by artist and Club member Connie Will, and produced and printed by Club member Lois Bloom, the cards are available in two versions:  Diary of a Garden I and Diary of a Garden II.  Each set in the Garden series features six of Connie’s beautiful watercolors of flowers found in the historic Hubbell Garden.  

Club members participating in this effort included Lois Bloom, Judy Goldbecker, Janet Hoyt, Abby LePage, Cathy Meyer and Connie Will.

Artist and EGC member Connie Will displays packages of the note cards she designed which will be sold to benefit the Hubbell Garden, a project of the Easton Garden Club.
