We had a fantastic time on Oct 2nd 2025 with the wonderful ladies of The Garden Club of Marlton (GCM) at Chartwell Gardens

It was a beautiful and productive day of gathering native and perennial seeds. These precious seeds will soon be sorted and prepared during the upcoming GCM workshop on October 15th.

Once ready, they will be added to our community resource: the Free Seed Binder at the Evesham Library! This project makes seeds available for all our Marlton friends and neighbors to share and grow.

A huge thank you to Chartwell Gardens for your gracious hosting and support of our local seed-sharing efforts! It was a 'picture-perfect' day.

At the end, added to our Library Gallery are three pictures of the monarchs and hummingbirds who found their way to the GCM herb garden, we care for at the John Inskeep House and our backyards.
