Dogwood
Park
Dogwood Garden Club was organized in 1940 and presently
consist of 25 members. The club provides educational experiences for
all club members and community citizens to develop a love for all forms of
gardening while creating interest in civic beautification. Dogwood
Garden Club considers the creation of Dogwood Park in 1963 as one of their
most outstanding projects. Several grants have recently allowed the
club to upgrade the park located on Ervin Street to encourage people to
enjoy the natural beauty, picnic shelter, playground and Carolina Fence
Garden.
Dogwood Garden Club plants and maintains seasonal flowers in beds and
planters along Honea Path's Main Street and in the Plaza Shopping
Center. To welcome travelers, the club maintains the flower beds
surrounding the six Welcome to Honea Path entrance signs. To proclaim the
Christmas season, the club erects the Nativity Scene in the center of town
and places a Christmas arrangement in the Jennie Erwin Library.
Dogwood Garden Club has erected a Carolina Fence Garden at the Honea Path
Elementary and Honea Path Middle School to provide students an outdoor
classroom to inspire a better appreciation of nature and to teach the
various symbols of the state of South Carolina. The club continually
supports the town's effort to make Honea Path a healthier place in which
to live.
