Gardens Committee
Neighbors & Nature Flourishing Together
For over four decades, gardeners and business partners in Bryn Mawr have supported shared public gardens, growing in number to more than a dozen today! As you stroll around the neighborhood, be sure to admire these gems, linger a while, and pat yourself on the back for living in one of the most beautiful communities, well, ever!
About the Bryn Mawr Gardens Committee
The Bryn Mawr Gardens Committee orchestrates ongoing greening efforts in the neighborhood, including maintenance of the Bryn Mawr Hedge and support of the organization of the Bryn Mawr Garden Tour. No membership or experience required, all are welcome! We are always looking for volunteers for workdays as well as specific tasks to help keep the community gardens looking great.
We have many beautiful public gardens in Bryn Mawr and rely on Gardens Committee members and our volunteer Garden Stewards to lead the ongoing maintenance of these important features of our wonderful neighborhood.
Join us and keep up at our Facebook page (here).
Meetings
The Gardens Committee is currently meeting as a full committee on the second Monday of each month, with additional sub-committee meetings scheduled on an as-needed basis. Check the Events calendar to stay caught up on the latest.

Lend a Hand — No Green Thumb Required!
As you wander around the neighborhood, whether you’re an active member of the Gardens Committee or not, there are two critical tasks that we always need help with: WEEDING and WATERING. Neither take tremendous skill to perform.
Find a thirsty plant, give it a long, deep drink!
Find a plant that doesn’t belong, pull it out by the roots!
The Bryn Mawr Hedge
The iconic Bryn Mawr Hedge got a complete redo in 2021. Dozens of volunteers planted over 300 cotoneaster bushes to create the striking topiary gateway to our neighborhood. This living feature takes special TLC during the growing season, and we are always looking for help with weeding, watering, and pruning. Visit our Volunteer page to sign up to help in the Gardens with greening efforts throughout the neighborhood, including help with maintaining our beloved Bryn Mawr Hedge.
