Welcome!
Anyone with a love of nature is invited to participate in our meetings, trips, workshops, community projects and information sharing.
Located in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia, the Woods Garden Club was formed in 2001. Our meetings are open to all; you do not have to live in The Woods. From March through October, our monthly meetings include a presentation from an expert in some field of interest to our members. Other activities include bus trips, garden tours and socials, educational opportunities for kids, and local landscaping and community service projects.
We have created this website to keep you informed of our activities and to be a source of gardening and related resources.
2026 News at a Glance
August Newsletter 2026
Hello members,
Here are some important updates from our previous announcements.
#1 I am excited to announce that we will again collaborate with Cacapon Institute for a Fall Tree Planting Program. Below is the QR Code which will connect you with the registration form. Members, please feel free to share this with your friends and neighbors in The Woods Community as this event is open to all Woods Residents.
Please note that the club does not profit from this program; it is not a fund raiser, nor does it generate any income. It is part of our mission to improve our community by planting and replenishing trees and shrubs. This is a two-step process; You need to register with Cacapon and then place your order. Get the QR Code from me to start.
For anyone who has not participated previously, this is how the program works.
1. Register, using the QR Code available from Russ DeCosta below.
2 . Place your order.
3. You will be advised as to where and when your trees/shrubs will be available for pickup.
4. We encourage those who can pick up their selections themselves to do so. In the event you cannot pick up your trees/shrubs, we will again rely on volunteers to help deliver the remaining selections. This will be coordinated through the Woods Garden Club.
Thanks in advance to everyone who participates in this event.
#2 Please be aware that due to the very limited number of interested members we will have to cancel the scheduled August Potluck Picnic that was scheduled for August 19th along with the meeting for August as well.
We hope to see you in September at our regular meeting at the Hedges Chapel Hall.
