Volunteering in the gardens
Bryn Mawr has a strong gardening tradition. This includes ongoing, public beautification projects and the more private efforts that make Bryn Mawr one of the most lovely of neighborhoods. We are proud of our public spaces, the sixteen gardens that are maintained by the Bryn Mawr Garden Committee and the many, many beautiful gardens created by residents.
