Garden Club Donates to Hospice
Overlook Auxilary
The Short Hills Garden Club, founded in 1906, when nine gardeners decided to regularly share and expand their knowledge of gardening. They called themselves “The Nine of Spades” and in time they grew to become The Short Hills Garden Club. They have been supporting Summit Twig 5 Friends of Hospice since 2016, arranging small pots of seasonal flowers to be delivered by the hospice staff and volunteers to patients and families. This wonderful project was the inspiration of Maida Tansey, past president of the SH Garden Club, and the 40 active members who also hold plant sales, maintain a community gardens and plant flowers for civic beautification in local areas. The hospice patients and their families are uplifted by the beauty of the flowers and the kindness of the Garden Club.
