Volunteers working to enhance the natural beauty of Keyport NJ since 2008
So many people enjoy membership in the Keyport Garden Club: Keyport residents and non-residents, novice gardeners, Master Gardeners, full-time workers and retirees, teachers, lawyers, artists, business professionals, landscape architects and gardening professionals.
You will have the opportunity to go on field trips, attend seminars, dig in the gardens as well as share plants and learn from other KGC members. We welcome you to join us!
Our mission of the Keyport Garden Club is to encourage civic pride and enhance the natural beauty of Keyport NJ’s neighborhoods, public spaces and highway corridors. The Club endeavors to accomplish the goals of volunteerism, education, and partnerships using environmentally sound horticultural practices.
The Keyport GardenWalk first started in 2012 and has quickly grown to be one of the top tourist attractions for the historic Borough of Keyport. Our Keyport gardeners come together each year to create a peaceful retreat, a colorful oasis, a productive vegetable garden. They showcase their gardens and share their expertise and creativity. Thousands of visitors explore public and private gardens. They discover perennial gardens in charming neighborhoods . We believe that a garden is more than just a collection of plants - it's a space that can inspire, relax, and rejuvenate, to make each GardenWalk an event for the community to remember. This enchanting two-day event is filled with art, music, educational speakers, self-guided tours, laughter, and the making of memories.
The gardens are managed by the Elizabeth Street Gardens Committee of the Keyport Garden Club.
Dedicated to maintaining an organic community garden that provides education, beautification to the community and supplies food for its members. Elizabeth Street Community Garden (ESCG) members maintain the grounds at the ESCG, working in a spirit of cooperation and fellowship. Our goal is to offer a safe and attractive environment to people desiring a place to learn and grow edible produce and flowers.
Jim Bacci, Dennis McNamara, Clare Skeen, Bill and Andrea Shadel, Lynne Kosobucki and Diane Calabrese are among the founders of the Elizabeth Street Community Gardens in Keyport, New Jersey.
