Purpose:

DVGC volunteers maintain two community gardens in the Burke/Fairfax Station area: the DVGC garden at the St. Mary’s Historic Church in Fairfax Station and the Pollinator Garden at the Burke Centre Library.

St. Mary’s Historic Church Fairfax Station

In 1977, as its first major community project, the newly formed Dominion Valley Garden Club undertook the restoration of the gardens of the St. Mary’s Historic Church in Fairfax Station, Virginia.  In recognition of the Club’s 50th anniversary, the Club updated and refreshed the gardens at the church. Working with a local landscaping firm, members selected appropriate plantings and replaced bushes and restored flower beds. A plaque memorializing the club’s role in preserving the garden was installed as well as a charming stone birdbath, continuing the Dominion Valley Garden Club’s legacy at the historic church.

If you are interested in volunteering to maintain the garden, please reach out to Chair Michelle Augustyn.

Pollinator Garden at Burke Centre Library

DVGC members continue to maintain the pollinator garden.  The busiest months are the spring and summer.  If you are interested in volunteering to weed, water, and maintain the garden please reach out to the Chair Shirley Steppe.
