COMMUNITY PROJECTS OF THE
BETHLEHEM GARDEN CLUB

To serve the Community, we will

• take an active role in beautification of our town by promoting collaborative endeavors with the town, businesses and other organizations toward beautifying our streets and public places. We will provide trees, plant materials and expertise as consultants toward improving the appearance of our town.
• host a garden tour. Have at least two members serve on the Bethlehem First Beautification Committee.
• support our Chamber of Commerce.

To Conserve Our Natural Resources, we will

• continue an active program within the club to educate our members as to the dangers of pesticide use; how to promote gardening balance; and, how we can best aid and live in harmony with the wild life around us.
• continue our relationship with Five Rivers Environmental Center, and Albany County Cooperative Extension.

To Support Education, we will

• annually offer a $1,00.00 Education Grant to elementary school teachers interested in enhancing their environmental science curriculum.
• continue our support of the Bethlehem Public Library.

To Increase Our Knowledge, we will

• offer programs to our members regarding horticulture, flower arranging, and techniques in garden planning and maintenance; and nature conservancy.
• encourage our members to actively share their knowledge with others both within the club and with the community at large.
