PHW Will Trim Your Bushes

Do you have some evergreen trees and bushes you need trimmed? PHW volunteers will be happy to trim them for you, and we’ll even take away the clippings! How is this possible? PHW needs fresh greenery to sell at our Bough and Dough Shop and to decorate the homes for the Holiday House Tour. This is a major part of our fundraising efforts for the Holiday House Tour and a way we can give back to the community with some sweat equity. We are especially looking for:

Holly with berries
Nandina with berries
Magnolia

We will also cut some white pine, spruce, juniper, and other evergreens, as well as boxwood, for the Bough and Dough Shop. If you have some of these types of trees and bushes that could use a trim, contact PHW at 540-667-3577 or phwi@verizon.net and leave your name, address, and contact information.

Images from Helping Homeowners

Work is progressing at our first facade improvement project house, 134 E. Leicester St. PHW started our association with the homeowner several years ago for Day of Caring. We are thrilled that our successful fundraisers this spring enabled us to give back a bit more to this deserving project. Images of the project can be seen at our Facebook page.

PHW is still accepting donations and volunteers for the program. Donations can be made at the PHW website via PayPal or via mail to PHW at 530 Amherst St. Winchester, VA 22601. Persons interested in volunteering, please contact Nancy Murphy at nvmurphy556@gmail.com.
