Club Projects
Fowler Pear Tree Park
Mukilteo Lane at Park Ave., Mukilteo – Refer to our ‘history’ by Alice Bell for the story of our ongoing and consistent involvement with the Park since 1953. Care and maintenance including replanting, weeding, feeding, composting, and trimming determined by the seasons continues our longtime commitment to provide oversight of the beds and plantings at the park. In 2013, the Club was proud to present three cloned samplings of the Fowler Pear Tree to the City of Mukilteo. The saplings were grafted by an instructor from Edmonds Community College and provide a legacy of the 150 year old tree for the community.
Crossing Paths Quilt Garden
Rosehill Community Center, 304 Lincoln Ave., Mukilteo Created and designed by Garden Club members in 2011, the ‘quilt’ motif is planted and maintained through out the year by Garden Club volunteers. It represents the ‘Crossing Paths’ of friendship between the members of the Mukilteo Way Garden Club and the Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters.
Mukilteo Garden and Quilt Tour
Collaboration with the Mukilteo Lighthouse Quilters to present the biennial tour occurring during odd numbered years. Club members direct the selection of the gardens and provide help in all aspects of the promotion and hosting of the Tour.
