A message from the Author:
Gardner has always been a special place of cooperation leading to great accomplishments. It began from tracts of land from four communities – Ashburnham, Westminster, Templeton, and Winchendon.
Gardner has had its tough times just like many other places. However, right now with a great public will of love and future-looking outlook, Gardner’s trajectory towards excellence is all but assured.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Gardner Christmas Wish
Original Poem by Werner Poegel
| The City was once a town to be sure And its substance became an allure. First settled sixty four years after 1700, Land gifted by nearby towns kindred. |
| Becoming as busy as a beehive Incorporated thusly in 1785. Twenty years more it only took To become a great furniture nook. |
| 20 Chair Factories, 4 million chairs Each with legs 4, like grizzly bears. Successfully brought 5 Heywoods together Fashioning furniture like birds of a feather. |
| Tracking the time worked became an invention Simplex Time Recorder industry convention. Gardner home to those critically thinking, Traditionally forward ideas in the making. |
| As if nature itself knew City’s future 23 square miles measured for sure. Named after a brave Colonel named Thomas, A Gardner city in 1923 came to pass. |
| It’s highest point is Reservoir Hill New heights reaching ever still Now 2 years from city centennial So many projects on the window sill. |
| Now sending its love to folks near and afar Gardner, Chair City, holds all of you dear. A family of peoples assembled in love Wishes Merry Christmas to you from above. |
