Winner of Best Float – 2019

The Mystic Garden Club is a relatively new participant in the Mystic Irish Parade.  They entered their first float in 2017 and were named the Best Community Group.  Two years later, their very creative and inventive Leprechaun themed float was awarded Best Float in 2019.

The club has been hard at work on this year’s entry, where it will combine its members’ flair for landscaping and flower arranging with a traditional Irish countryside theme.  We hope you’ll be there to cheer us on and see what the Mystic Garden Club has created for the 2022 Irish Parade.

2022 Plant Sale

June 4, 2022

The Mystic Garden Club Plant Sale will be held on Saturday, June 4, beginning at 9:30am at the Mystic-Noank Public Library.  All proceeds from the sale will be donated to the library.

This annual event is a special event for the club because its members generously donate thriving plants from their own gardens to sell at the event.   The sale offers something for every garden.  Whether your garden is sunny or shaded, there will be a wide selection of plants available to suit your environment.  For the first time in 2022, there will be a section devoted to plants that are indigenous to South Eastern Connecticut. Native plants are good for local wildlife and the maintenance of a stable environment.

A few years ago, the club benefited from a very generous donation of day lilies.  These lilies were originally planted in the front yard of a local home by a loving husband for his dying wife so that she could see her favorite flowers every day and provide her with some joy.  After her passing, these lilies, known as the “Love Lilies,” were saved from being plowed under when they were rescued by members of the Mystic Garden Club and replanted at Kentford Farm, home of MGC member Paul Coutu.  These lilies are divided each year and offered for sale at the Plant Sale.

Mark your calendar for the MGC Plant Sale and take home a “Love Lily” or other new addition for your own garden.
