The Rake & Hoe Junior Garden Club has members between Kindergarten and Sixth Grade. They meet once a month.
The Juniors are having a busy fall. They are planting more daffodils around town and helping to clean up the Westfield train station garden. They are learning the basics of flower arranging at one of their monthly meetings. After that as a service project they are making flower arrangements for the teachers at the Jardim School of the Union County Cerebral Palsy League.
This Fall the members have already made ornaments for the annual December tree decorating at the Jardim School. The Scottie ornaments will be given to all of the children and coordinate with a holiday book for the school. Committee members will be making bedside flower arrangements for veterans at Lyons Hospital. Later this fall they will decorate the mantels at the hospital for the holidays.
For the past two years the members of the Rake and Hoe Garden Club of Westfield have been planting hundreds of daffodils around town. Project "Planting Sunshine" created spring disploays of sunshine at the Westfield Train Station, the Reeve House, Brightwood Park, The Miller-Cory House Museum, and the Shadowlawn Pocket Park.
