The Friendly Garden Club of Traverse City has a long history of serving the local community from designing and planting the Logo Garden at the Open Space to sponsoring other community projects through our grants and scholarships to help fund other worthwhile projects. It is through education our members learn the basics of horticulture, floral and landscape design, and environmental responsibility. This enables us to continue to share our service to the community we love.
If you would like to help us fund these projects, please donate.
Community Projects
We work with a variety of students throughout the summer instructing them on how to plant, weed, and harvest produce with the excess being given to local food pantries.
The Children's Sensory Garden is a partnership between The Friendly Garden Club and The Botanic Garden. The Children's Sensory Garden is now open to the public. Come and enjoy the space.
Each year the club designs, plants, and weeds a logo garden at the Open Space in Traverse City. Come check it out!
Each year we sell geraniums to our members and the community as a fundraiser for our club. This money is used for projects within the community.
We will be having a Garden Walk on JULY 16 in 2026! See you there!
Only members of the club can submit a grant application for another nonprofit.
We support our veterans with a Blue Star Memorial at The Botanic Garden.
