Garden Club Celebrates 20th Anniversary Of The Secret Gardens Of Brick Tour

BRICK – The Brick Garden Club held its 20th Anniversary Secret Gardens of Brick Tour and Tea on July 11. It was amazing to be a part of such a beautiful event with so many enthusiastic volunteers!

Mayor Lisa Crate issued a proclamation naming the day the Brick Garden Tour and Tea Day! We appreciate her interest in our club and the support given by the Parks/ Recreation, Maintenance and Buildings/ Grounds township departments.

The Brick Memorial High School Key Club’s team, supervised by Ms. Tarnowski, volunteered several hours to help set up and take down numerous tables and tents as well as carry boxes out of and back into the basement.

Thank you to the owners around Brick who shared their yards with hundreds of ticket holders. We are always looking forward to the next tour so please contact us to nominate a garden!

Thank you to the many local businesses who sponsored us by donating raffle prizes and promoting the Tour and Tea!

The Brick Garden Club’s Secret Gardens of Brick Tour and Tea continues to be a special event in our township. New members are welcome to attend informative meetings and serve the township by caring for the town gardens at Rt. 70/Brick Boulevard and at the Robert Anstett Cultural Arts Center, offering scholarships, and participating in the Green Fair and Holiday Tree Display.

All of our photos and more information about the club can be found on our website, brickgardenclub.com.
