THAnk you FOr your Support of our Benefit Raffle!

Thank you to the neighbors and friends who supported our Bloomin' Corners Raffle this year! We are thankful for your ticket purchases and donations. We rely on the proceeds from this fundraiser to maintain our signature Blackridge corners. The BGC also regularly donates to both the BCA and the BSC. We are also thankful to the committee members who made the benefit possible through their work and donations: Nancy Del Presto, Tara Taylor, & Judy Diorio. Thank you, too, to those members who helped to sort, stuff, and mail the packets to Blackridge residents and our other patrons! It was a team effort!
​Stay safe, and enjoy your gardens!

Thank you to everyone who helped make
"tree Time" a Success!

The BGC is again participating in PHL&G's fundraising opportunity, and we need the help of every member and friend!

Please mention the Blackridge Garden Club when you check out at Penn Hills Lawn and Garden in 2020. After the end of the year, our club will receive a check for 5% of the total spent by all of our supporters.  

You do NOT NEED TO BE A MEMBER to help, so please ask your friends and neighbors to mention the BGC when they shop!! We do share our member list with PHL&G, and they provide each BGC member with a VIG card (Very Important Gardener), valid for 10% off purchases all year long. This discount is another perk of BGC membership, so if you'd like to join, even as a supporting member, please contact Jeanette Trauth.   


 


We can use a lot more help with corner maintenance, so if you can spare some time, please contact Nancy or Judy. Thank you very much!!
