Check Out Our Community Projects

This peaceful retreat has been an ongoing project since 2003, established in honor of our member Laurie Giles with plants she loved. In 2021, we expanded the garden in memory of Fran Johnson, adding flowers and plants from her personal collection.

When the Zebulon Community Library received a grant from The Bee Cause Project, we had a blast helping local children and teens plant pollinator flowers! We also hosted a program on the importance of bees to humans and nature. Be sure to check out this beautiful garden right outside the Zebulon Community library windows.

Since 1998, our members have volunteered their time and creativity to provide beautiful, seasonal floral arrangements for the Zebulon Library. A team of ten members takes turns creating these designs throughout the year, brightening the space for staff and patrons alike.

Established in 1998, our Nature Trail is a key ongoing project that links the Zebulon Community Center to the Zebulon Community Park. It features a Butterfly Garden and a Pollinator Garden full of native plants and wildflowers. In fact, in 2016, these gardens were named a stop on the NC Butterfly Highway!

On June 11, 2021, we completed a two-year effort to place a Blue Star Memorial at Zebulon Town Hall to honor all those who have served in the armed forces. We continue to maintain the memorial site with themed plantings and conduct wreath-laying ceremonies on Veterans Day and Independence Day.

Our annual plant sale is a beloved tradition and the financial heart of our service projects. We gather, pot, and sell plants from members' yards to the public. The funds raised help us create beautiful community spaces and support our projects, from the Library Garden to the Nature Trail.

Since 2021, we’ve partnered with the Zebulon Woman's Club to beautify downtown. We maintain vibrant planters throughout the business district, updating them seasonally to add a welcoming burst of color to the heart of town.

In 2021, the Zebulon Chamber of Commerce reached out to us for help updating the plantings around their building. We continue to provide guidance and plants for the front entry and surrounding areas.
