________________
In the
early 1960's members of the Garden Club had the
foresight to form an environmental protection
committee named "The Keep Bermuda Beautiful Committee". In
1964, KBB became its own entity, but KBB still
thinks of the Garden Club as their "parent"
organization. On January 11th 2013 The
Garden Club of Bermuda presented KBB with a cheque
in the amount of $7,500. This is the second year in
a row that the Garden Club have been able to
financially support KBB. On Tuesday, February
26th, 2013 KBB held their Appreciation Awards Ceremony and presented The
Garden Club with the KBB Environmental Partner Award
The Garden Club of Bermuda's 2013 donation
of $7,500 to Keep Bermuda Beautiful.

Schools' Gardening Project at Government
House, January 2013
Early in December 2012 the Governor's wife,
Mrs. Margaret Fergusson, asked for mentors from the Garden Club to help her set up
an inaugural schools' kitchen garden project. As can be seen from the
photos below this has been a great success.

The Smith Garden in St. George's
This tiny garden just
off Barber’s Alley was designed by one of our members, Evelyn Young, and
created by Garden Club members as our gift to St. George’s when it
acquired World Heritage Status some years ago. We have been
looking after it ever since. Above is Garden Club member Betsey Mowbray
planting a section of the garden. Any Garden Club members who would like to
help out for an hour every six weeks can contact
