It is with great pleasure to announce the winning poems from the North Haven Garden Club Annual Poetry Contest in conjunction with the National Garden Club Poetry Contest for 2022 – with the theme “Sing with the Songbirds – Exploring the Glory of Nature”. A small ceremony was held at the North Haven Library on June 13th where each child was presented a certificate and a gift card from the North Haven Garden Club.
