Welcome to the Westham Garden Club

The Garden Club is not associated with the Old Westham Civic Association but we do work directly with them to help maintain the beauty of the neighborhood.

The Westham Garden Club was established on May 25, 1943, to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of Westham. A rich abundance of wildlife and native flora gives Westham its distinctive charm, and the club’s efforts to preserve this serene environment makes the neighborhood one of the more attractive and appealing residential communities in Richmond.

Mrs. Alton Williams served as the club’s first president. Under her leadership the organization established a mission that has guided the members for over seventy years:  stimulate an interest in gardening, encourage civic development, maintain and enhance the landscaping of Westham’s common areas, and protect the birds, wildflowers, and plants that thrive beneath a canopy of white oak and other hardwood trees.

Today the Westham Garden Club continues to pursue a mission steeped in landscape and wildlife preservation, neighborhood beautification, and community volunteerism. With over 100 members, the club is actively engaged in projects and activities that improve and enhance the quality of life, not only for residents of Westham but for the Richmond community at large.

The Garden Club invites all new residents to become active members. For additional information, please go to www.westhamgardenclub.com.
