R&H Juniors Donate Wreaths to Frontline Workers 

In September, the junior members of the Rake & Hoe Garden Club of Westfield visited The Miller Corey House and learnt how to make grapevine wreaths. The juniors then made their own wreaths and decorated them with dried and fresh plant material.

In late November, the Juniors visited the Shoprite in Garwood and presented the decorated grapevine wreaths to the Shoprite workers to thank them for working throughout the pandemic to keep them and their families fed.

The Juniors, meet monthly, after school during the school year to work on projects focused on gardening, flower design, and community service.  

The Rake & Hoe Garden Club is affiliated with the Garden Club of New Jersey and the National Garden Club, Inc. The club meets on the second Wednesday of the month at 12 p.m. at the Scotch Hills Country Club. Membership is open to residents of Westfield and surrounding towns. For more information, call Beth Siano (908-233-4150) or visit the club’s website, (rakeandhoe.org) or Facebook page.
