The Charter Oak Gavel Challenge

“The Charter Oak tree of Hartford is the Constitution State’s most iconic legend.
Native American tribal councils gathered under its broad branches. Colonists hid their
royal charter of 1662 in the tree, keeping it out of the hands of a crown official.
The oak tree fell in a storm in 1856.”

Creating Connecticut: Critical Moments That Shaped a Great State

Our GCA Zone II meeting theme, Charter Oak, recognizes the historic importance of this tree and
celebrates The Garden Club of Hartford’s long history of civic and financial support of Hartford’s tree
canopy. GCH has purchased and installed numerous trees in the park system of Hartford. GCH recognizes
the crucial role that trees play to the quality of life in this city. In particular, the white oak is an important
habitat for pollinators and caterpillars and provides many food sources for wildlife. While the original
Charter Oak fell more than a century and a half ago, many of its offspring continue to thrive throughout
Connecticut. “Trees” has been the theme for our Conservation Committee for the past two years.

Gavel Challenge
Quercus alba, White Oak, grown from seed in an appropriately sized terra cotta container with saucer.
The Charter Oak Gavel Challenge Entry Card and the Propagation Card are both required for entry;
the latter should detail dates and growing conditions. Please place back-to-back, so written areas face out,
and enclose in a plastic sleeve. Forms can be found at the end of this schedule.
The seeds (acorns) will be distributed to Club Presidents in October of 2021.
