Our newer projects (2005) were donating four planters to Old Town Hall, planting and maintaining these and the two areas on either side of the steps; and planting and maintaining the daylilies on Shawsheen Road. We also participated in the Job Lane Farm Museum's Holiday Open House. Garden Club members decorated the kitchen. In the spring of 2006 we joined area garden clubs to work on a project at the Edith Nourse Rogers Memorial Veteran's Hospital in Bedford. In the summer of 2006 we donated a bench to the Library. Projects we have done in the past include planting at Ashby Place (Elderly Housing); working with John Glenn Middle School students planting bulbs, and planting containers at the Council on Aging. Jan Burnes created this beautiful arrangement for the Bedford High School Scholarship Awards night in 2007. Flowers came from members' gardens. Pictured by the arrangement are Penny Leslie, our Scholarship Chairperson, with our scholarship recipient.

As one of our civic projects, and in celebration of the 25th anniversary of the herb garden, we had a new fence installed in July 2003. Jo Champney is the chairperson of the herb garden.
