ABOUT US



WHY WE GARDEN





The Neshanic Garden Club has been beautifying our community for 96 years. In our labor of love for gardening, our members have worked in many gardens which has benefited their own mind, body, and soul.


Gardening has a positive impact on our lives. We get all around exercise with stretching and lifting which reduces stress and improves our sense of wellbeing. The creative side builds confidence, brings more meaning to life, and helps those that are sick. Our senses are stimulated with color, fragrance, and sound, calming us, and lifting our spirits. Gardening teaches us patience and perseverance. Gardening brings beautiful natural rewards for us to enjoy, feeding our mind, body, and soul.
