The Bamberg Dirt Dabblers Garden Club has partnered with the city to work on four beautification projects that were voted on by club members.
DDGC member Kasey Jackson made DDGC identification garden signs for each project’s location. The city also partnered with the club to enhance the entrance sign planters with a variety of beautiful plants.

The main objective of the group is to promote the love of gardening among amateurs, to promote and protect the growth of native trees, wildflowers and birds, and to encourage civic planting and civic pride.

Collectively, the group wants the community to know that the members care about Bamberg and members are actively working towards improving it. Linda Deibel, one of the longest serving members (around 30 years), says she continues to enjoy learning more about gardening and she enjoys socializing with the group.
