Our Commitment to Community

Since its inception in July of 1925, the objective of the members of the West Chester Garden Club (WCGC) has been to stimulate the love of gardening, to conserve our resources, and to improve the quality of our environment. As part of the Garden Club of America, we actively support pro-environmental policies through member/community education and political action. The Club provides regular programs and workshops to expand the skills of our members which are highlighted in our annual Flower Show, featuring exhibits in Floral Design, Horticulture and Photography. The WCGC also contributes to a wide variety of community projects. Explore the 'What We Do' section to learn more.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WEST CHESTER GARDEN CLUB FOR WINNING THE BLUE RIBBON (FIRST PLACE) AT THE PHILADELPHIA FLOWER SHOW IN THE CLASS STORE WINDOW.
The challenge was to create a storefront display where no money changes hands. We brought to life a Garden Tool Library — a welcoming space built on the simple, generous idea of neighbors freely sharing tools with neighbors.
