From the Executive Director

Dear Neighbors and Friends of Chestnut Hill,

I hope everyone is enjoying the cooler weather! As we all struggle with our “new normal”, the CHCA is working hard to provide information and virtual or safe outdoor activities to our members and the community. You can read below about some upcoming member activities, a beautiful virtual garden tour that was our gift to the entire community, meet the CHCA’s new board members and leadership, save the date for a community supper, and more.

Best wishes for a healthy and happy fall season!

Regards,

We are thankful for all their hard work and dedication during these challenging times. Over the past months we have profiled just a few of the very deserving people who have served this community in the Chestnut Hill Local. Check out those you may have missed. These are just of few of the people working in local businesses and institutions who have kept us healthy, safe, and happy during the epidemic. We salute them all!  Click on the photos below to learn about these essential workers and what they do for our community.

Beautify Your Landscape and help support the

Chestnut Hill Garden District Fund 

Alternate text

Our friends at the Chestnut Hill Garden District Fund, the group responsible for planting the beautiful barrels, hanging baskets, and many of the window boxes that grace the storefronts along Germantown Ave., has the opportunity to receive 25% of all sales of bulbs, plants, supplements, books, even gift certificates from Brent and Becky’s Bulbs, a high-quality, competitively priced supplier recommended by CHGDF board member and retired Morris Arboretum executive director, Paul Meyer.  Paul has known the family that runs Brent and Becky’s for decades and orders bulbs from them for his own garden.

If ordering your bulbs and other gardening supplies from Brent and Becky’s and simultaneously supporting the CHGDF sounds like a win to you, all you need to do to get started is go to www.bloominbucks.com and select Chestnut Hill Garden District from the pull down menu.  When you place your order, the Garden Fund will receive 25% of what you spend.  Win-win!
