The West Trenton Garden Club, Inc., was established in 1953 to share the love of gardening, the principles of flower design and encouraging civic improvement with its members and the community.
Thank you for visiting our website. As an up-to-date garden club, we want to give you the opportunity to stay in touch with our organization and our activities.
If you are visiting this site because you are working in your garden and wondering if there is a local group that shares this interest, then you came to the right location. Joining a garden club is a great way to meet new people while learning or sharing some gardening, environmental and floral design tips. Of course, our club has a lot to offer, just check out our calendar. We hope that you will find something of interest and join us for a meeting or two; and hopefully you will decide to become a member.
Welcome to our new members: Gabrielle Belcheff (joined January 2024), Mary Corrigan (joined August 2023), Beth Dial (joined September 2023), Marcia Felcone (rejoined August 2023), Paula Fisher (joined January 2024), Denise Hillsdon (joined September 2023) and George McBrath (joined November 2023).
We have been very busy so far in our 2023-24 season. Please visit each page/tab for existing activities for this garden club year. Here is a short list of special upcoming events: Monthly Meetings with inspiring Programs, Arbor Day Tree Give-Away, Spring Flower Sale, Scholarship Breakfast Fund Raiser and the Birmingham Park Celebration.
Interested in purchasing flowers from our club? We have several flower/bulb sales through the year - check out the "Fundraisers" tab for this information.
Our Scholarship Breakfast (Fundraisers Page) held on June 18, 2022, was a huge success. Unfortunately, we were not able to hold this breakfast in 2023. The next Scholarship Breakfast will be held on May 11, 2024, at Hollowbrook Community Center. For more information on this event, contact Linda Reasoner, at lindar75@verizon.net or (609) 851-7520. Come out and support the club and our scholarship fund.
Our flower show "Back to Paris!" is now a memory. It was a huge success. Thanks to our incredible Flower Show Chair, Helga Fontus, and her Committee Chairs. This show, on May 19-20, 2023, was held at the Mercer County Office Park, 1440 Parkside Avenue, Ewing. Please check out the "Flower Show" tab on this website for the photos taken at the show. Any flower show questions can be emailed to Helga Fontus, Show Chair at maisonrose@artlover.com.
Our site is constantly under construction! We are making an effort to present you with all the information about our club and its activities, while sharing some photos of past events. We will continue to provide the public with information on gardening techniques, environmental information as well as flower design, whether through our site or through links. If these topics are of interest to you, please check back often as we continue to update our site.
In the meantime, you can reach our Garden Club President, Lorraine Persiani, by e-mailing her at Impersiani@gmail.com, our Membership Chair, Rick Lazerick at ricklazarick@gmail.com or our Website Chair, Pat Bowker at Kellysaunt.pb@gmail.com.
