Lexington Creek Butterfly Garden
The Brightwater Garden Club has been an active supporter of the Lexington Creek Elementary Butterfly Garden since 2001 when the garden was designed and installed by a group of parents, some of whom were Club members. Today the Club continues to provide support and horticultural advice.
Over the years, the Brightwater Garden Club has conducted Arbor Day plantings at Lexington Creek Elementary, the local public elementary school for Lakes of Brightwater. Tree plantings have included trees such as oaks, vitex, and crepe myrtles which are well adapted to the area.

Fort Bend Women's Shelter
Brightwater Garden Club has had a long standing supportive relationship with the Fort Bend Women's Center (FBWC). In the past we have donated Easter Baskets for children, decorated cookies with the children for Valentine's Day, provided backpacks and uniforms for Back to School and donated supplies for Thanksgiving dinner. We continue to stay in touch with the staff there and help with special projects as they arise.
