Civic
Each year, Sasqua Garden Club supports community-based projects that reflect the mission of the Garden Club of America “to restore, improve and protect the quality of the environment through educational programs and action in the fields of conservation and civic improvement.” As such, Sasqua members commit time, womanpower, and funds to projects that meet this mission and to which the members feel passionate.
Current Projects
Sasqua is overseeing and funding the design and installation of a quarter-acre courtyard garden for the Audubon Society’s Birdcraft Museum in Fairfield, Connecticut. All third graders in Fairfield Public Schools visit the Birdcraft, and the Audubon Society uses the buildings and trails for community programs and summer camps. In addition, each year Sasqua brings fourth graders from Bridgeport’s Read School to the Birdcraft Museum for a special program on avian habitats. Sasqua committed to this courtyard project in 2012.
