Central Maine Garden Club, which consists of 12 to 15 towns, was presented the Kathleen Marty Civic Development Award.
The award was presented in June by the Garden Club Federation at its state convention, according to a news release from the Waterville-based club.
The award was in recognition of the Native Garden located on the grounds of the Redington Museum in Waterville. This garden displays plants that are all native to the Northeast and consists of growth that is useful and valuable.
Barbara Biche, president of the garden club, accepted the award at the spring convention.
