Our Commitment to Community
The West Chester Garden Club (WCGC) was first created in July of 1925. The objective of our Club is 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.
