Shorewood Hills Garden Club
The Garden Club welcomes you! While some of our members are accomplished gardeners, many are not. We bring together not only those who are passionate about gardening but those who wish to learn more about gardening, as well as community members who simply wish to support the efforts of volunteers who maintain the Village triangles and other spaces that dot the Village with color throughout the growing season.
Founded in 1936. New members are always welcome.
Purpose: "To encourage and foster the activity of gardening among all ages; to promote civic beautification within the Village; to aid in protecting native wild flowers & birds; and to otherwise nurture our environment."
