Birmingham Park Enhancement Project
Club Projects
The West Trenton Garden Club’s largest and most ongoing initiative is the beautification and maintenance of Birmingham Park in Ewing. Over the years, club members have transformed this local space with native plantings, commemorative features, and seasonal upkeep. The project fosters civic pride and offers a peaceful green space for the community to enjoy.
Discover more about this multi-year project on our Birmingham Park page.
Featured Projects
Flowers for the Ewing Library
A club tradition that brings beauty and a sense of community to the local library, with monthly floral arrangements or plants provided by members for public enjoyment.
Random Acts of Beauty
This seasonal project honors local residents and businesses that have significantly improved their landscaping or outdoor spaces. Award certificates are a small but meaningful way to celebrate everyday beauty in our town.
Holiday Decorating at Drumthwacket
Each winter, the club is honored to decorate one of the rooms at Drumthwacket, New Jersey’s Governor’s Mansion. Members design their décor around a creative, often garden-inspired, seasonal theme.
Festival of Trees at Morven Museum
WTGC participates in this juried holiday exhibit, contributing custom-decorated trees and mantels that blend floral artistry with festive cheer.
