Programs
The Wilton Garden Club meets monthly, September through May, ending with an Awards luncheon in June. Meetings are scheduled on the second Monday of each month, unless otherwise noted, at Wilton Congregational Church Pilgrim Hall, 70 Ridgefield Road.
Members arrive to register and have coffee at 10:45 am. The program, with a featured speaker, begins promptly at 11:00 am followed by a short business meeting and lunch, usually prepared by WGC members.
