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
September Newsletter 2026
Hello members,
Here are important updates and additions to our previous announcements.
Our next meeting will be on September 16th starting at 1 PM. It will be at the Hedges Chapel Hall featuring 2 Master Gardeners from our area. Melanie Files and Rick Lowman will be presenting a program called “Now that you have it, what do you do with it,” A presentation on preserving food you have grown or purchased. This is not a “canning presentation” but examples of various ways to preserve garden products and those you have purchased.
Outstanding membership dues for 2026 of $10 can still be made at the meeting or by sending a check to WGC c/o 1223 Wintercamp Trail Hedgesville, WV 25427.
The Fall Tree Planting Program was again a big success with 140 Trees and Shrubs purchased. Delivery is scheduled for 09/18/2026.
Dawn McClure is working on a Fall Foliage Train Ride and once confirmed we can get that out to the group. We are looking at Friday 10/16/2026 on the Potomac Eagle Railway in Romney. The trip would be a one day, leave around 9 AM , lunch on the train and then a return trip getting back around 6 PM. More to follow soon.
Trunk or Treat is scheduled for Sunday 10/25/2026.
We hope to see you on September 16 at 1:00 pm at our regular meeting at the Hedges Chapel Hall.
