For
over 75 years The Garden Workers have volunteered their time and energy to
beautify and raise funds for the surrounding Main Line community and the
Greater Philadelphia area. The following is a short description of past and
ongoing projects
The Magnolia Tribute Garden
Located on the south side of Locust
between 4th and 5th Streets, the garden was donated by the Garden Club of America in honor
of the founders of our nation, and dedicated in May 1959. The Garden Workers provides annual maintenance to this garden.

Physic Garden The
Garden Workers annually provide

serving as the backdrop for a unique program for Philadelphia-area
