South Coast Ambassadors Tobey Hospital: The Wareham Garden Club has been so supportive to Tobey Hospital for many years. Last year we were so fortunate to have our hospital filled with Christmas cheer for our patients and staff: Our lobbies filled with Poinsettias, our doors bedecked with Christmas wreaths and a beautiful holiday ornament donated by the club for our patients to enjoy. The Garden Club goes above and beyond with the beatification of our Healing Gardens, allowing our patients to enjoy the fresh air and added a perfect wind art piece donated by particular club members. Tobey wouldn’t be Tobey without the Wareham Garden Club.
The Wareham Garden Club is a 501 (c)(3) non profit, tax exempt organization under the umbrella of the Garden Club Federation of MA Inc.
