About

Welcome!

Welcome to the Deercreek Home and Garden Club. We want to tell you a little bit about who we are.

When the Deercreek Country Club community began in the early 1990s, a group of women residents met to discuss ways they could help beautify our new community. They wanted to enhance the landscaping and create a warm and welcoming environment for residents.
In 1993, they formally organized as the Deercreek Home and Garden Club, meeting regularly at the Deercreek Clubhouse. The group raised money to purchase deer statues and concrete benches now gracing our grounds. They installed flagpoles at the clubhouse and a large urn at the gatehouse.

They also initiated two awards to recognize Deercreek residents: (1) an annual Golden Acorn Award to a Deercreek resident for their community involvement and (2) monthly Landscape Awards, which continue to this day. Click the links for more details.

Probably the most significant achievement was the purchase and planting of the magnolias and oaks along Deercreek Club Road and other streets through the Memorial Trees program, and direct sales of trees to residents. Over 260 trees were planted in Deercreek to create the leafy tree canopy we see today.

Now, we continue to embrace our mission. With 100-plus members, the club sponsors lively and educational monthly meetings; organizes social activities and an annual fashion show for fundraising; maintains flower gardens throughout Deercreek; and decorates public areas for the holidays. The group works with the Deercreek HOA and the Deercreek Country Club to create activities for families to promote community spirit and involvement.

If you are looking for a place where you can develop life-long friendships while contributing to the Deercreek community, please join the Home and Garden Club!

Events and Programs

We have monthly events from September to May, typically on the third Tuesday of the month (at 10 am or in the evening). Most events are featured in the Deercreek newsletter and are open to all Deercreek residents and club members.

We have a Membership Kickoff in August to introduce our upcoming season of events. All Deercreek residents are invited to attend and join our club at this time. Residents can also join at any time through the year.

In addition to our monthly home and garden topics, we host some special events such as:

• Sip and Shop – A women’s retailer brings a selection of clothes and accessories for attendees to try on and buy. The proceeds from this night help fund our holiday decorations for Deercreek.
• Quilt Sale – Deercreek’s Comfort N’ Quilters group holds an annual sale for our members; this helps them replenish their material supplies for the handmade throws they make and give to children in area hospitals.
• Women in History Reenactment –A very popular evening program by Ruth Pangrace, a member of the Ohio Women in History group. She presents an entertaining one-woman performance illuminating a famous woman in American history.
• Spring Fashion Show & Raffle – Our major annual fund-raiser for beautification projects in Deercreek, featuring fashions modeled by Deercreek residents. Attendees love the raffle of luxurious items donated by our members and sponsors.
• Appreciation Lunch – An annual lunch for Deercreek’s ground and landscaping crews to thank them for their service and excellent work in our community.
