 Community Outreach
Wayne Woods Garden Club participates in many projects for the benefit of the community.
 
 
 PHS City Gardens Judging
 
Two teams of club members acted as judges for the PHS-sponsored City Gardens Contest in Philadelphia.  It is a wonderful program that encourages the “greening” of the city and was an unforgettable experience for those who judged the gardens. For them, the highlight of the 2010 Philadelphia Flower Show was sharing the enthusiam of those involved and seeing the winning photographs  during the informative presentation given by Philadelphia Green. 
 
 Meals on Wheels
 
Club members make 25 seasonal decorations four or more times per year for trays that are delivered to homebound individuals by the MainLine Meals on Wheels.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Ronald McDonald House
 
At Easter, the club decorated the Ronald McDonald House in Philadelphia with baskets of flowers to give a spring time feel to this very special place. 
See our Recent Events page for photos of this year's Ronald McDonald House Workshop.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Surrey Sevices
 
 We made an extra large evergreen wreath to decorate the entrance of Surrey Services for Seniors in Berwyn PA – now a yearly request.
 
 
 

 
 Devon House Tour 
 
In October, members of the design committee were asked to provide six centerpieces for the Devon Country House Tour.
The arrangements were placed on tables in The Club House at Athertyn. The box lunches for the event, which benefits Bryn Mawr Hospital,were to be distributed there. Athertyn  is a new and growing life style community nestled in the many acres of Haverford Reserve.
 

 Donations 
 
Wayne Woods Garden Club made a sizable donation to the building fund for the new education center at Jenkins Arboretum. We also continued our yearly contribution to the Upper Merion Park and Historic Foundation. A donation was made to the Garden Club Federation of PA’s Scholarship Fund for horticultural studies.  We are especially pleased to contribute to the Federation of Neighborhood Centers-Teens 4 Good, which we learned of during the PHS City Gardens Judging.  Our donation is designated to support their efforts at the garden at Gorgas Park on Ridge Avenue in Philadelphia.
