Join this special Garden Club event to help welcome Earth Day at Grant Park!


In honor of Earth Day, we'll be planting over 100 1-gallon native pollinator plants to help expand our pollinator and sensory gardens at Grant Park! You'll feel a sense of accomplishment knowing you're helping conserve vulnerable species like the Monarch Butterfly while creating a vibrant educational garden for students and the community in the heart of our city.

We'll be planting on both Tuesday (4/21), and Wednesday (4/22), so please join us for one or both days! To sign-up for Wednesday, please click HERE.

A huge thank you to Guild Mortgage Company for supporting this planting project!
