History of the Garden Club of Morristown
In 1913, Mrs. Gustav Kissel (Caroline Kissel) brought together a small group of enthusiastic ladies to create the Garden Club of Morristown.
Caroline Roberts Thorn Kissel, granddaughter of Commodore Vanderbilt, and Gustav Kissel, an investment banker in New York City, had been among the first wealthy New Yorkers to choose Morristown as the location of
their summer residence. They purchased a 120-acre farm property in Washington Valley in 1887 and later built a brick manor house on the property. The house, completed in 1904, became known as
Wheatsheaf. The estate featured a large formal garden. Gustav Kissel died in 1911, leaving Wheatsheaf to Caroline.
Mrs. Kissel continued to spend her summers in Morristown, where she developed an interest in gardening. In the spring of 1913, inspired by the very active Garden Club of Philadelphia, she invited
some friends over for tea and the meeting began the Garden Club of Morristown. The first official meeting of the club took place in May of 1913 at the home of Julia Therese Keyser Thorne (Mrs. William V.S. Thorne) in Normandy Park (the Thorne home is now the Unitarian Fellowship on Normandy Heights Road). There were 35 original club members; Mrs. Kissel was elected the Club’s first president and Mrs. Thorne was its treasurer. The Club’s mission was created: “to promote garden culture by the exchange of ideas on all matters related to the garden.” In 1915, by-laws were drawn up. In the early years, the meetings were social gatherings
with a lecture and an elaborate tea. Most of the members had their own gardeners.
The Garden Club of Morristown joined the Garden Club of America in 1917, and revised their by-laws in accordance with the parent organization. This added a wider focus, and the Club’s objectives grew to encompass conservation and preservation of native wildflowers, civics, roadside planting, and campaigning against the proliferation of billboards. There was also an emphasis placed on flower arranging and the Club has participated in many flower shows since.
Many of the Garden Club’s gardens were designed by landscape architects, but one of the Club’s founding members, Louise Shelton (1867–1934), was also very influential. Miss Shelton, who lived on Miller Road in Morristown, wrote several books, including
Beautiful Gardens in America (published in 1915 and again in 1924), which documented large Gilded Age houses and their landscapes across the country.
During the Great Depression, some Garden Club members loaned plots of land to families in need and created jobs via Club projects such as landscaping in Burnham Park and building a brick wall at what is now the Kellogg Club in Morristown. During World War II, the Club embraced the Victory Garden movement with some members donating food grown on their land to All Souls Hospital and Morristown Memorial Hospital. In 1942, working with the Office of Civil Defense, the Club began a roundtable discussion held weekly at the Morristown Library, with professional gardeners and Club volunteers answering residents’ questions about how to grow vegetables in their home gardens. The Club also sent small decorations to veteran’s hospitals, which formed the basis of the Club’s ongoing wreath-making activities.
By the 1950s, a shift had occurred in Club members’ gardens. By that time many of the large estates of the founding members had been sold off and if not torn down entirely, were used for other purposes. Through all this their elaborate gardens had disappeared. Many Club members’ mid-century homes featured smaller gardens which were maintained by part-time help or by members themselves. During the 1960s, the Club joined in the fight to prevent the Port Authority of NY and NJ from building a jetport that included large portions of the Great Swamp and surrounding towns. In 1964, with donations from the Garden Club and many others, the New Jersey Conservation Foundation was able to purchase much of the land in the Great Swamp for use as a wildlife refuge. The Club also worked on the restoration of the gardens at Macculloch Hall during the 1960s.
‘Branching Out,’ an award-winning children’s garden, was established in 1976 in partnership with the Frelinghuysen Arboretum and Morris County Park System. In 1985, the Garden Club of Morristown was a Founders Fund finalist for its restoration work on the Gardens at Morven in Princeton. The Civics Committee became active in the 1990s; one of its early projects with the Morristown Partnership was installing brick raised beds, wrought iron fences, and benches on Morris Street. The Club has continued its civics activities, adding plantings around Morristown including at the library. The Garden Club of Morristown celebrated its centennial in 2013.
The Club continues to be active in local projects and fundraising events to the present day; its largest fundraiser is an annual plant sale.
