Hopkinton Garden Club - Boston Marathon

I am so excited to be running in the 2023 Boston Marathon on behalf of the Hopkinton Garden Club. I have run the Boston Marathon one time before, in 2018, but this year is particularly special as I am running in honor of my grandfather, Murray Lubowitz. Murray owned a local floral business throughout my childhood, and I have fond memories watching him work in his home garden. My affiliation with the Hopkinton Garden Club helps me to carry on his love of all things flowers, plants, and natural beauty.

The Hopkinton Garden Club, affiliate of The Garden Club Federation of Massachusetts, is a 501c3 non-profit . Their mission is to promote and teach gardening, horticulture, and floral design; to develop and encourage community spirit through town beautification; and to assist, promote, and contribute to town conservation efforts.

Gardening is more than just the beautiful flowers that can be set in a bouquet on a kitchen counter or hung from a front porch. Plants are a sign of love, like in a wedding ceremony (my wife and I did this at our wedding!); hope, when delivered in a hospital; happiness, when gifted as a sign of congratulations; and overall appreciation for life when given for just about any other occasion.

My hope in supporting the Hopkinton Garden Club is that the members can continue to expand upon all the initiatives that bring happiness, beauty, and education to all those in the community to enjoy.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to my family and I. To learn more about the amazing benefits this non-profit organization brings to the Metrowest communities, please visit their website: https://www.hopkintongardenclub.org/
