It was a time to celebrate what is genuinely Gardner on the beautiful day of September 15, 2022
This is our regular feature, “Genuine Gardner.” What is special about the Chair City.
Patriotism is Genuine Gardner
Work continued at 42-52 Parker Street, but only the eagle eye would spot the United States flag on the building.
Undoubtedly, the owner put it there out of a sense of respect, not knowing it would be noticed. But it was. And it is this sense of goodness which is Genuine Gardner. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
Education is Genuine Gardner
The pristine and majestic new Gardner Elementary School stood as a testament to Gardner’s bright future. This hall of learning welcomed students on September 15, 2022 and is Genuine Gardner.
Monument Park
Monument Park was utilized over the summer for concerts enjoyed by many. In fact, it was a summer with no Saturday rain outs. On this day, Monument Park was a source of information from the Montachusett Veterans Outreach Center.
Supporting our veterans is also Genuine Gardner.
Embracing Gardner’s Heritage
The Chair was hardly noticed by most who passed it by. But this Chair in the sign at Parker Street and West Lynde Street serves to illustrate the wonderful heritage of furniture making which has graced Gardner MA over the course of time.
This heritage is Genuine Gardner.

Learning and Knowledge is Genuine Gardner
Serving those who thirst for knowledge was the Levi-Heywood Memorial Library, also proudly displaying the Star Spangled Banner.
This wonderful repository of culture and learning is Genuine Gardner.
The new Maki Park will be using a terraced approach due to the slope of the terrain. It is expected to be a beautiful addition to Downtown Gardner.
The Start of Maki Park
The Transit Man and his fellow Surveyor became part of the cycle of Gardner MA History on September 15, 2022 as they marked off part of the future Maki Park on Parker Street. It will be another way for Gardner to be a great place to Live, Work, Play, and Visit.
Nature is Genuine Gardner
While everyone in Gardner did their thing, the creatures of Crystal Lake enjoyed a beautiful day quacking about.
Yes, even the ducks of Crystal Lake are Genuine Gardner.
