- We tentatively have Wednesday May 24th , 2017set to plant the annuals in front of the Meeting House. As the days get warmer we will let everyone know if that will be the day. We meet at 9:30 am. Many hands means light work. It would be great to get about 6 volunteers to plant the flats.

Meet in front of the Newtown Meeting House, Newtown, CT
Hello all,
Posted in a recent Newtown Bee was a very nice note from Donald Studley acknowledging the efforts of the members of the Horticulture Club of Newtown for planting the begonias in front. Special thanks to Sherry Paisley for coordinating the ordering, pick up and planting the begonias and also to the volunteers who were able to help out that day (Susan Cameron, Dottie Evans , Sherry Paisley, Barbra Richards, Jo-Ann Scebold and myself). We are very fortunate to have the use of such a great building with all of the amenities and excellent location for our meetings.
Below is the note as posted in the Newtown Bee, Thursday May 22, 2014. Please read below for an upcoming event!
Beautifying The Meeting House
Wednesday, May 21, 2014
To the Editor:
The Board of Trustees of the Heritage Preservation Trust of Newtown, Inc., which administers the Newtown Meeting House, wishes to publicly thank the Horticulture Club of Newtown for its continued support in beautifying the Meeting House grounds.
On Tuesday, May 20, a dedicated group of Horticulture Club volunteers and planted over 400 begonias along the front of the building and in the barrels at the curb. These efforts will be appreciated by people attending events at the Meeting House, as well as everyone using Main Street, throughout the summer and early fall.
We also take this opportunity to publicly thank those who assist us in maintaining the grounds. Shakespeare’s Garden supplied the plants; and Rob Connor and his crew at Connor Landscaping, LLC care for our lawn on a weekly basis. These business people display a sincere personal interest in doing their very best for the Meeting House—and it shows!
The Meeting House is one of Newtown’s historic gems and we are very gratified by the continuing high level of community volunteer spirit and commitment.
We urge readers to remember that the Meeting House is available for public and private events; individuals and groups are invited to visit our website at www.newtownmeetinghouse.com, or call (203) 270-8293 for information.
Cordially,
Donald T. Studley
President
Heritage Preservation Trust of Newtown, Inc
