COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND PROJECTS

“Spreading Seeds of Support, Comfort and Hope in Our Community”

York Manor Garden Club offers various types of support to our community. Through the annual holiday greens and floral arrangement sale, funds raised support YMGC in donating to the environment, in honoring those who have served, and in enhancing the quality of life for children and adults in communities throughout Baltimore.

Yearly YMGC donations 
Plant a Tree Program  Focuses on the reforestation of America.  YMGC’s  contribution reforests one acre of land annually.

Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay. A yearly donation to this organization that focuses on the preservation, restoration and sustainability of the Chesapeake Bay, its rivers and streams.

Wreaths Across America.  A long-standing contribution is made yearly to support those who have served.

Community Services 
Westfield Assisted Living Community. 
In 2025, YMGC began a partnership with Westfield Assisted Living  Community in Baltimore County by creating gardening enjoyment for the residents. Phase 1 of the partnership enhanced the outdoor living space through a variety of container gardens located at the front door and on the deck area.  Phase 2 created a two-tier pollinator garden, measuring 600+sq ft, that bordered one side of the Westfield property.

Postcards of Encouragement for the Baltimore Hunger Project.
In September 2025, YMGC  kicked-off the new garden club year with a workshop that created 100+ postcards of encouragement with the nature theme of flowers, bees, butterflies.  The postcards were placed in the weekend meal bags for children in the Baltimore area.
