The Garden Club of America is celebrating 100 years of civic engagement. It’s hard to find another non-profit that’s done more for the environment. The club’s industry and enthusiasm don't surprise Jenny Rose Carey, director of the Ambler Arboretum of Temple, who lectures widely on the contributions of Philadelphia women to conservation. "They didn't wait for opportunities to come along. They took them. They had a vision," she says.
