We had a wonderful regional meeting in Vermont this year. Over 100 members across our six states attended. The mood was autumnal and festive. There was so much to celebrate. In case you missed it — or would like to revisit the event — here are some recaps for you.

The event kicked off on Friday, October 9, 2026 with an online Business Meeting. This was the opportunity for us to meeting the regional director and state presidents and hear about the great work NEGC and the state federations were involved in over the past year.

The in-person event was hosted by The Federated Garden Clubs of Vermont and held at the Killington Grand Resort surrounded by autumn colors and 250+ years of history. Award Presentations were the highlight of Wednesday’s agenda.
