Monthly Educational Programs
The Hanover Garden Club’s monthly educational programs are produced in partnership with the Montshire Museum of Science and held in The Anderson Center / Porter Community Room. Speakers—whether appearing in person or via Zoom—share their expertise on a broad array of horticultural topics.
Zoom links are provided at the Calendar listing about a month before each presentation. Afterwards, HGC members enjoy access to most presentation recordings (varies by speaker) from our website.
All of our programs are free and open to the public.
We hope you will join us!
Visit the Montshire website for more information about the museum’s exhibitions, programs, and facilities.
