Several SHGC club members volunteered during a FLEECE & Thank You event at Senior Services of Van Buren County. Members cut & tied the blankets which will be delivered to sick children in hospitals throughout the State of Michigan.


In 2024 our garden club Board approved a grant for the purchase of adult, young adult, and children's books to be added to the South Haven Memorial Library collection. The books were to focus on “horticulture, gardening, floral and landscape design, plant and bird life, and appreciation of the natural beauties of the State of Michigan”, reflecting the club's by-laws.
The library purchased books and set-up an area to display them with a sign thanking our garden club. Each book contains a bookplate noting that the donation was from the South Haven Garden Club.
Stanley Johnson Park
A beautiful Friday! SHGC members volunteered their time on May 31 to plant 340 plants at the City of South Haven’s beautiful Stanley Johnson Park! We had so much fun! Thank you to everyone who came out and generously donated their gardening hands. We couldn’t have done it without you.
Beautification is just one of our community program missions. We hope everyone visiting this park will enjoy the flowers.



















Bridge Flowers
Perfect morning for planting flowers! Members of the SHGC came out to support The City of South Haven, Rotary Club of South Haven, Michigan, Bronson South Haven, National Honor Society and SHOUT for South Haven planting begonias at the Dyckman Bascule Bridge. Here are just a few photos of the helping hands. There were a record number of happy volunteers today!!! Thank you to everyone who helped. #flowers #flowerplanting #begonias #volunteering #community #communityprograms #beautification #beautifysoha #gardening #helpinghands #servicewithasmile #sohagardeners

Saturday we had the honor of being included in the Elks Lodge #1509 Spring Fling. Club members volunteered at a seed planting station. Attendees chose a seed, or two to plant and take home. It was a fantastic day for the kids and families. Photos by Lisa Stegall
