Community Beautification Projects

The West Plaza Rose Garden in downtown Healdsburg was rededicated by the Healdsburg Garden Club in 2015, following a two year project of planting and caring for 40 new rose bushes and working with the City of Healdsburg, Healdsburg’s Rotary Club, and two local landscaping vendors to revitalize the long neglected rose garden.  We provide ongoing maintenance to keep the garden beautiful.

The Healdsburg Garden Club worked with Healdsburg Elementary School to establish a pollinator garden as an educational tool for its students and to benefit the surrounding community.  We currently maintain the garden.

Our community beautification team works at the Healdsburg Hospital to brighten up and prune the plants and trees found in the patient and staff atriums.

Our team completed restoration work at the Harry & Maggie Wetzel Family Native Plant Garden. We removed Himalayan berry canes and privets so we could walk along the bank of Foss Creek. We also removed grass and cleaver around the Valley Oaks, weeded out burr clover, artillery weed, flickweed, and shot weed, and planted perennials (Pipevine, Toyon, Manzanita, Ceanothus, Silver Lupine, Columbine, Coffeeberry, etc.). All are doing well.

The Healdsburg Garden Club was called upon to restore the "Leda and the Swan Fountain" with drought tolerant plantings, in the older portion of the cemetery.

The Healdsburg Garden Club designed and installed a water conservation and habitat garden alongside the Emergency Room, and installed a succulent garden outside of the ambulance entrance.

On September 2, 2002, Healdsburg Garden Club completed a beautification project for the Healdsburg Animal Shelter. Climbing roses, flowers and shrubs provided fragrance and bright color outside the Shelter offices where the resident dogs took their daily exercises and met their prospective “family”.

The Healdsburg Garden Club designed and installed a courtyard with benches and artwork, a water conservation and habitat garden and a succulent garden at the entrance to Alliance Medical Center.

The Healdsburg Senior Center approached the Garden Club to replant their planter boxes.  The Healdsburg Airport approached the Garden Club to do a beautification project around their terminal with planter boxes and landscaping.  Healdsburg Junior High had several garden projects, including to provide gardening advice and supplies to classes for their organic gardens.  The Healdsburg Garden Club helped design a vegetable garden and installed a succulent garden at the Healdsburg Senior Living Center.
