Easton's Main Street businesses receive seasonal flower box arrangements to beautify their storefronts. Garden Club volunteers provide upkeep for the landscape at the Center School and Yardley Rink. The Club also arranges for flower deliveries to local rehab centers and nursing homes. Some of the flowers are used for therapeutic flower arranging sessions and some simply provide cheer to the staff, residents and visitors. The Garden Club also offers an annual scholarship to college bound Easton residents pursuing studies in horticulture, conservation, landscape or other related fields.
