A Natural Collaboration
Building Community Together
EVENT HOSTS
The Ridgefield Garden Tour is being presented by the Ridgefield Historical Society and Ridgefield Garden Club, a natural collaboration between two not-for-profit organizations deeply rooted in Ridgefield and dedicated to the preservation of history and nature within our community.

Ridgefield Historical Society
Founded in 2001 with the preservation of the 1714 David Scott House, the Ridgefield Historical Society preserves, interprets, and shares Ridgefield’s historical, cultural, and architectural heritage through collections, programs, events and other initiatives. The organization’s state-of-the-art vault is the principal repository for Ridgefield’s historic documents, images, architectural archives, and artifacts. The Society also has charge of the West Lane (Peter Parley) and Branchville one-room schoolhouses.

Ridgefield Garden Club
Established in 1914, the Ridgefield Garden Club plays a vital role in our community by fostering knowledge and love of gardening as well as protecting natural resources and wildlife, and encouraging civic improvement. Among many other initiatives, the Club funds, plants, and maintains four gardens at Ballard Park and helps maintain the 1906 Lord & Burnham greenhouse.
