About Us
Who We Are
The Ambler Keystone Branch was founded in 2007 at the site of the first meeting of the Woman’s National Farm & Garden Association (WNF&GA) in 1914.
WNF&GA was established in Ambler, Pennsylvania, by Louisa King, Jane Bowne Haines, and Hilda Loines. The group of friends organized their club with the goals of stimulating interest in the conservation of natural resources; an appreciation for country life; and to support the fledgling Pennsylvania School of Horticulture for Women (today’s Temple University Ambler). For a full history of a true grassroots, woman run organization, view the National WNFGA’s History page History – Woman's National Farm & Garden Association, here.
Today, the Ambler Keystone Branch has more than 30 members, ranging from patio gardener to landscape designers, “newbies” to master gardeners. This group of gardeners, garden lovers, and garden professionals meet to raise funds for horticulture and environmental scholarships and to learn more about gardening, design, native plants, and native insects.
We welcome new members who share our goals in promoting horticultural interests and education through fellowship and community service. Join us here​​
