The Trent Woods Garden Club is a Charitable Organization.
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 Garden Bees is our Youth Gardener program for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders hosted at the Broad Street Christian Church and Community Garden. 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 assisted living facility 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 has hosted herb sales, Spring Teas, and now a holiday wreath sale to raise funds for our scholarships awarded to two Craven County student studying agriculture at college. TWGC members believe that scholarships are a bedrock of providing our local youth with the advantage of a higher education.
