Proclamation in appreciation presented to Trent Woods Garden Club

Trent Woods Garden Club was honored by Mayor Charles F. Tyson Jr with an official proclamation.  Mayor Tyson remarked that Trent Woods Garden Club’s ongoing efforts were greatly appreciated by the entire community. The Trent Woods Garden Club (TWGC) is committed to bringing garden and nature beauty, education, and civic development to the greater New Bern area.  The TWGC is a member of the National Garden Clubs, Inc and The Garden Club of North Carolina, Inc.

The Trent Woods Garden Club is an active member of the greater New Bern area.  In addition to an annual scholarship fund, our members provide and support local area programs for the young and young at heart.   The Bees is our Youth Gardener in-school program for local second graders.  Members visit the school monthly the during the school year.  Volunteers from TWGC provide the children with a hands-on experience growing plants and instilling a love of nature.  At Garden Therapy, volunteer members visit a local nursing home to spread cheer, fellowship, and a love of plants.  Monthly craft projects are geared to bring a small bit of joy to our local elderly or infirm neighbors.  TWGC also hosts an annual Herb Sale to raise funds for our scholarships and various civic programs.  TWGC provides scholarships to graduating Craven County seniors studying agriculture at college every year.  TWGC members believe that scholarships are a bedrock of providing our local youth with the advantage of a higher education.

Founded in 1962, Trent Woods Garden Club meets the second Thursday of the month, September through May.  Guests are welcome.  If you are interested in additional information, please contact Ann G Hall annghall77@gmail.com or (919) 418-7494.
