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
July Newsletter 2026
The Woods Garden Club is open to all. Members and those interested in the club are invited to join us at our various meetings and functions throughout the year. Annual Dues are only $15 starting in 2027 per family for the entire year. Contact us through
woodsgardenclub@gmail.com. Our continued projects include the maintenance of both the Mail Kiosk and the Monarch Garden, both of which looked beautiful this year thanks to the efforts of our members.
Our meetings this year have included a presentation on Micro Greens -- how you can grow these at home and the benefits they have. The June meeting featured Carl Ay from Colonial Farm Nursery. Carl spoke about container gardening and how to best develop your soil. As we all know, our soil can be challenging so container gardens, either pots or raised beds, are great solutions to growing your favorite flowers and or vegetables here in The Woods.
This year ,July will be different than previous years. The Club will not feature the traditional Home and Garden Tour; we have chosen to pause this program this year and hope to revive it next year. Along with this, we will not meet during the month of July. Due to busy schedules and vacations, July will be a vacation month for the group.
Our next scheduled event will be our members’ only Potluck Picnic which will
be held this year at Winter Camp Park. This event will be on Wednesday
August 19th starting at 1 PM. We encourage members to attend and bring a
dish to share. The club will feature a main dish and beverages. We are working on a speaker who can also enjoy the outdoors. Members should watch your
email for updates on this annual event.
These are just a few of the many events and programs that are offered by the club. Upcoming will be our collaboration with the Cacapon Institute for our fall tree sale program. This event offers residents of The Woods, both members and non-members the opportunity to purchase native trees and shrubs at a reduced price to beautify your property. Check our website for additional information. when available.
Our club looks forward to growing our membership in the community with a continued group of diverse members, Master Gardeners, folks who enjoy gardening and our presentations, and share our passion for the beauty around us.
ENJOY THE SUMMER with the Woods Garden Club
