The Northfield Garden Club endowment administers a small grants competition to support a wide variety of gardening, beautification and horticultural projects in the Northfield area.
The club is administered by a Board of Directors, whose membership is elected annually. The Board includes a President, Past President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
