Framingham Garden Club (FGC) members – in collaboration with Framingham High School (FHS) students – recently welcomed Spring with an exciting four-day “Bridges and Blooms” community art exhibit at the Village Hall. This FHS event celebrated the intersection of art, science, and history, with a focus on native plants and the environment. The exhibit featured the students’ creative works, like photography, botanical creations and other vibrant creations and artwork. It was coordinated by FHS Art teacher Kate Millman and Biology and Environmental Science Teacher Rebecca Maynard. FGC collaborated with the high school and the show was supported by several local sponsors, like Framingham Rotary Club, Fran’s Flowers, Rivers Edge, and Russell’s Garden Center.

The granite slabs are polished and carved to commemorate all of our former deceased members.
