T.H.E. Garden Club was sprouted from seed by Ashley Libersher and Kris Haberman—avid gardeners, friends, and parents of the next generation of plant people. Both former Midwesterners turned East Coast “transplants,” Ashley and Kris spent decades building their respective professional careers in New York City before moving to the lower Hudson Valley with their families and bonding over their passion for digging in the dirt and helping nature—and people—grow. Their collective experience working with Fortune 100 and 500 companies, proficiency in marketing, corporate communications, and landscape design, paired with a self-described success in meeting the needs of their most demanding clients—their own children—has prepared them for this exciting philanthropic endeavor.

T.H.E. Garden Club was established to connect kids with nature through hands-on horticultural activities that encourage them to caretake and preserve our natural resources. We strive to work closely with community members, educators, parents, and experts in various fields of earth sciences to offer children unique and memorable programming that sparks lifelong interest in environmental stewardship.
