In 1993, the Nashua Garden Club was contacted by an aide to then-Mayor Rob Wagner to inquire if the members of the club would be interested in working in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department to design, plant, and maintain a Sensory Garden at Greeley Park for the visually and physically handicapped.

Assisted by the Perkins School for the Blind in Waltham, MA, the club members designed a garden which contained plants that could be experienced, not only through the sense of sight, but through the senses of touch, sound, and smell as well. The garden was dedicated on July 28th 1994, the fourth anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

To commemorate the garden's 10th anniversary, two lovely additions were made: an arbor and a bronze plaque depicting the parts of an iris, sculpted by garden club member Carolyn Gaudet.

The beautiful garden at the Humane Society for Greater Nashua was planned in 1999, when the Nashua Garden Club, under the presidency of Dorothy McQuade, was asked by the Humane Society to beautify its grounds for their Centennial Celebration in the year 2000. Using generous donations from area merchants, Nashua Garden Club members planned and planted a lovely garden in front of the Humane Society building.

In 2010, a granite plaque was erected at the Humane Society to commemorate the 10th year of the Nashua Garden Club maintaining the garden. Judy Hemenway and Jean Wells of the Nashua Garden Club procured the donation of the stone from Gate City Monument. President Lois Scotto and Vice President Ann Barker were also present at the dedication, along with Natalie Doyle of the Humane Society.

Ongoing maintenance is provided by the members of the Nashua Garden Club in appreciation of the Humane Society's years of giving to the animals in the greater Nashua area.
