Garden Club of Buzzards Bay trunk show
The Garden Club of Buzzards Bay, which includes many Dartmouth members, will hold a trunk show on Aug. 23 and 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Waypoint Center at the Fairfield Inn and Suites in downtown New Bedford.
With last year’s proceeds, the club funded a research scholarship at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth’s School of Marine Science and Technology. Starting this fall, Brian T. Smith, a cum laude graduate of Temple University and a master’s candidate, will study how ocean warming has impacted lobster larvae in coastal waters.
The club also gives grants to support gardening and environmental projects in local schools, on community farms and for conservation groups. In recent years, grants have been awarded to groups across the South Coast.
This year’s trunk show will feature women’s clothing, resort wear for the whole family, gifts for men, linens and pet portraits.
A complete list of vendors for the trunk show is available at the club’s website, gardenclubbuzzardsbay.org.
