Get involved
Show up with a rake. Send a check. Both. We're a volunteer organization — every bit of time and money goes back into the park.
Tools and gloves provided.
Our biggest workdays are spring and fall cleanups, when 40–50 neighbors show up to rake, weed, mulch, and prune. Smaller groups tend the gardens through the season.
No experience needed. Bring water and sunscreen. Coffee and pastries on the gazebo.

Membership is a $100 annual gift. Our goal each year is two hundred neighbors at this level — that is what funds the work.
Members get the newsletter, event reminders, and the warm satisfaction of having helped pay for the next round of bulbs.

Any gift helps — large or small, one-time or recurring. We use donations for plantings, supplies, bench and table replacements, and the occasional bigger project like the tennis courts.

Board recruitment
We're looking for new board members — people with energy for fundraising, communications, programming, or hands-on garden work. The board meets a handful of times a year.
